. . . make failure feel inevitable. I'm sharing this now, when I'm not alone and not immediately tempted. Addicts and alcoholics in recovery mark the passing time of their sobriety and somehow eventually lose the sense that failure is certain. But the successful ones also have a support network of meetings, sponsors, etc.
Still, I believe in my deliverance by my Savior's power and authority, and I believe in a truth that is greater than my fear of failure - a fear which I continue to renounce in the name of Jesus. And, in my moments of "opportunity" to sin, I will have this reminder that each is also an opportunity to live as the redeemed and restored son of my loving Father, who empowers me by His very Spirit living within me because He is so crazy in love with me.
