The truth:
I am living in temptation and I want to quit it. I want to stop sinning against God. But it's very, very hard. Temptation can be SO strong. My will- so weak.
But I know it's not impossible!
So I shall strive on- I will not give up eventhough I should fall, because I know that God will forgive me , and let me try, and try, and try again until I finally stand victorious over it!
(some popularly quoted "support" verses)
[1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempte, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.]
[1 John 1:9- If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness]
The whole truth?
Well, erm... to be honest, part of me actually enjoys indulging in my temptation. It's like chocolate- fattening, but you enjoy eating every-"sinful"- little- bite. Yes, I know it's wrong. Just give me some time... I just need a little more time...
(supporting verse)
[James 1:14 But each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed]
... ...
Ever thought of being honest with yourself as to what's "the truth" in your battle with temptation?
Because, technically- There's no way a person can overcome your temptations by deceiving themself as to what is the "true" current state of battle with it, right?
"How can you overcome something you still love?"
"How can you love indulging in sin when you know very well it means NOT loving God?"
"Really, really now... Who or what do you love more?"
Oh pride... please do not hide my heart from the whole truth.
Mi.

The last sins to go are usually pride and lust. Pride because we don't want to admit our own brokenness, and lust, well that needs no explanation =/
