Better to pray than flee

 

My take on the video: 

Human nature is universally corrupt and fallen (Romans, especially), as is the resulting human consciousness, thoughts, desires, will, acts/actions (my theoretical, non-exhaustive chain). As one struggling with sin as a believer, or even embracing sin as a non-believer, it is better to pray to the Lord for guidance, forgiveness and change, than flee from God.
