Unbelief, or something else?

I was thinking this morning ...

Do I sometimes disguise a desire to stay in my sin (whether by laziness, preferring my sin, or something else) as unbelief (specifically, not believing that God is powerful enough to change me)?

Maybe that's just a different kind of unbelief ... not believing that God is better than whatever I'm clinging to.

I guess I need both in order to make that 180 turn -- believing that God can and believing that he is worth it.

Some would call it a worship disorder... loving something else more than God...

Molly - you've written down exactly what I'm processing through. Although rather than sin specifically (sometimes but not always), it's difficult & resistant purpose. Are they worth it? Obviously the answer is YES because He is worth it but getting there in reality is MUCH harder!
