O wretched man that I am!

Romans 7:19
For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil that I will not to do, that I practice.

Romans 7:24 & 25
O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death?
I thank God-through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

These verses have meant allot to me this week. The good things that I will to do, I do not do. Why are we so weak? I try to give up trying doing things for jealousy, pride, money, my own glory etc. I guess we get used to using these devices to motivate us that we never practice what God intended. Why can't we do God's will because we want to? Oh how I wish I could follow that.
