Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Paul knew this too well...the things I want to do I don't, and the things I don't want to do I end up doing, oh wretched man that I am! We all have the same struggle with our carnal nature waring against the Spirit. This business of being a Christian is not a walk in the park...it is a fight for you soul, and you must fight for it or the enemy will take it.
It's too hard, I can't do it alone, you might say. Well you are not alone. God himself is your banner...Jehovah Nissi...call on Him. God himself will heal your wounds...Jehovah Rophi...call on Him. God himself is your salvation...JESUS...call on Him. Fear not and fight on looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
