I got this on a mail....
Our struggle against the sinful nature is like going uphill. Your inner self which is brought to life by God's grace needs to fight the the outer worldly self daily. If there is lot of fuel in the tank, then the engine will keep going, but if fuel is low you are in trouble. Is your inner self getting enough fuel to go against the gravity of sin? Or is your outer self getting more of the upper hand?
Ever tried driving a car over a steep muddy slope? Your foot needs to be always on the accelerator & the gear needs to be lowered till the slope is covered. The moment you release your foot, your climb stops but thanks to the brakes you don't slide back. If the path is muddy, the car can skid and slide back and forth. It is the engine that keeps the car going. But the engine cannot run alone, it needs fuel in the tank.
If the fuel is out then you are stuck and can't move up.
