"Your Trouble".....

"Your trouble, in short, is this: You are trusting to yourself
rather than to the Lord. 
I know it does not seem so to you, because you pray earnestly, and implore God’s forgiveness, and believe and even realize that He has forgiven you. 
 
Yet the fact that you invariably fall when the temptation comes, shows that you are not trusting the Lord for salvation; for we read, “The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble; and they that know Thy name shall put their trust in Thee; for Thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek Thee.” Ps. 9:9, 10....... the Bible was written for no other purpose than to afford help to people in just your condition; for there is no temptation come upon you but such as is common to man; and “God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.” 1 Cor. 10:13."
