your answer both are humbling and inspiring to me. the gift of the Holy Spirit... but i dislike to think of a separate entity to Christ. i'm afraid to claim i have what i don't understand. even to say God is on my side is too boastful for me i think. i need God but God may not need me.
i like the song Jesus take the wheel ~ Carrie Underwood. It has a story that i can really connect based on my own exp.

We are born with the ability to think, to reason, to make decision and to act on that decision. This is what God intended us to do. He expects us to fail and He wants us to cry at Him for help.
God loves you, trust me.
He came to seek those who are lost in their life, including those who are humble enough to admit they need God, this type God really honours.
Read this whole Passage
Romans 5
Peace and Hope
1 Therefore, since we have been
justified through faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
6 You see, at just the right time,
when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10
For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
