Whenever you feel defeated, remember this:  As believers, we have all the power needed to live as God desires, because He has given us His Holy Spirit.

From John 14:15-17:  “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.  And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever.  This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him.  You know Him, because He abides with you, and He will be in you.”
