To suppose that whatever God requires of us, that we have power of
ourselves to do, is to, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ
of no effect. 
Let our hearts admit, "I am poor and weak. Satan is too subtle, too cunning, too powerful; he watches constantly for advantages over my soul. The world presses in upon me with all sorts of pressures, pleas, and pretences. My own corruption is violent, tumultuous, enticing, and entangling. As it conceives sin, it wars within me and against me. Occasions and opportunities for temptation are innumerable. No wonder I do not know how deeply involved I have been with sin." Therefore, on God alone will I rely for my keeping. I will continually look to Him.
