The mortification of sin by John Owen is an amazing book, and I'm not even done with it yet. The premise is explaining how we need to basically"kill son daily" I know biblically that that is true, as I am sure that you do too, but ge is explaining it in such a way, with verse after verse investment that you can tell that he has prayed at struggles with it as I have. Bottom line is this, first ask forgiveness, draw closer to God (sound familiar?) next ask God for the strength, His strength.(it's His will that we should not sin) Third when you do sin, or have sinned, realize that there is nothing you can do to fix it or make it seem right again(works) only return to Him, and let His grace and power through love and faith restore you.
