The struggle itself is proof enough that the heart is still crying out to God for help. There is hope for one who is experiencing an inner battle. The struggle against sin in the life of an honest person is evidence that he or she refuses to give in to its power. The difference between a sinner and a Christian is how one views sin. God's supernatural help is promised to those who thrash about in the deep, dark womb of evil, struggling to be free.
All newborn children cry as soon as they come to life.
Those who cry are really on the verge of a new life. The first step toward ending your inner struggle is to learn how to cry. Then let the tears flow unashamedly. Cry out all the pent up desperation. Humble yourself and let the hurts and grief caused by your sin pour out of your innermost being.
