Victory over sin can only be achieved through Jesus Christ. If you believe in Jesus, your sins are paid for and you have eternal life. But if you want to see victory over sin in your life on this side of heaven, it’s going to take godly wisdom and dedication. “Trying really hard” to overcome sin is a little bit like David trying to beat Goliath by tackling him. David chose the wisest course of action, and God blessed him for it. When you are sure to spend time with God (through prayer, Bible reading, etc.) and do what you need to do before that temptation ever arises (getting enough sleep, communicating, avoiding tempting situations, etc.) you can “make straight paths for your feet” and give yourself the best chance at having victory over sin.
