Philippians 2:13 NLT For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

There’s a song that says, “I got to clean up, what I messed up.” It signifies that we must do all the work to straighten our lives out. That’s not necessarily accurate. There is some amount of effort from us, but we don’t have to bear the burden. 

The scripture says God is working in us and giving us the desire and power to do what pleases Him. Most of the effort is on God. Our responsibility is to listen to Him and obey His instructions.

We don’t have to stress and toil trying to figure out how we can stop sinning in this area or stop this bad habit. Come to the Father and allow Him to empower us to do what pleases Him.
