Yes, I understand it oh too well. Our Pastor showed me that scripture because I just wanted to give up and felt like I was the only one on earth that struggeles so much with sin of the flesh and wanting to do good but not able to and thinking I am the worst person alive. Alcohol/drunkeness is one thorn in my flesh and no matter what I do or how hard I've tried I end up doing what I do not want to do. Even after periods of time not drunk I end up there agin and agin and agin. Smoking was a thorn in my flesh at a point and no matter how I tried nothing worked. It is hard when ppl around say how easy these things were to quit for them and yet here I am. Thing is I do not know what their thorn may be. It has helped me to depend on God much more and deffinately very humbeling. Srry didn't mean to go on so long. Just wanted you to know that I understand it (feeling)
