As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,This is my daily struggle. There are many ways of the flesh which I am drawn to constantly, things I want badly but do not have. Many are actually good things, things most people should have, but I have been blocked from, at least partially due to my own choices and actions.
It says here that those desires come from ignorance, but that doesn't make them any less powerful. I'm intellectually aware that I am pursuing things the wrong way, but emotionally the void in me is so strong that something needs to fill it. I know the proper, Christian answer is that Christ is supposed to fill those voids, but I can't for the life of me figure out how that's supposed to happen.
