Romans seven reveals to us that human will power is no match for the law of sin and death.
Rom 7:14-20
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. NKJV
Ephesians 6:10
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. NKJV
This scripture is telling us to allow God who holds this universe together by the word of his power to be our strength.
