Becoming Whole: A dedicaton to all the fallen

But I need something more!
... I obviously need help!
I realize that I don't have what it takes.
I can will it, but I can't do it.
I decide to do good, but I don't really do it;
I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway.
My decisions, such as they are, don't result in actions.
Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time.
I've tried everything and nothing helps.
I'm at the end of my rope.
Is there no one who can do anything for me?
The answer, thank God, is that Jesus Christ can and does.
He acted to set things right in this life of contradictions where I want to serve God
with all my heart and mind,
but am pulled by the influence of sin to do something totally different.
(Romans 7:17-20; 24-25, The Message)
