Is God the Author of My Being?

We come into this life burdened by any number of qualifying conditions that inhibit and damage us. We contribute to them, but we're not the sole authors of our own beings. The world in yourself that is knowing better doesn't necessarily prevent you from committing mortal sins. And God doesn't necessarily need to prevent you from sinning mortally. You don't deserve God's grace to preventYou from persisting in sin.
