I am both inspired and distressed sometimes when I think about all of this I could use a hug. I want to help folks.

By the way, when you say "The more I try to be good the more I see how I am not", you're in pretty good company.
Who will deliver you from this, little brother? The same Jesus Christ our Lord who delivered Paul.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

What I failed so badly at on my own I am doing better at with His help.
The devil will always minimize the sin to get you to do it
Then he'll maximize it when you've done it to keep you in chains
