"For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases Him. "

Philippians 2:13, NLT

God is on our side....He wants what is best for us. We make bad choices because we are tempted and deceived by satan. We give in because we have a sinful nature (from satan) and free will (from God) to make our own choices. God does not want us to be puppets, he wants us to make our own choices. Where we fail is when we are tempted we rely on our own self to make the choice instead of going to God about everything. God will show us the way if we seek Him!!
