Temptation, Sin, and Urges

I am dealing with so much temptaion, so much sin, and so many urges. I try to pray, but I feel I am getting no where. So I looked up these verses, which helped some. I ask people to hold me acountable, but then that is not always easy getting it out. Sometimes, I just feel like all of this is a waste. Because in the end- I give in; which then leads to shame and guilt.
Sometimes I feel that I can cover a sin up by doing something a little better than the sin, temptation, or urge that I have. Its like a cover up. But is there one sin greater than the other? I think there are, but thats not what God thinks.

Here are some verses that may or may not help.

"Your word I have treasured in my heart, that I may not sin against You."
Psalms 119:11

"He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion."

"For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace."
Romans 6:14

"Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall. No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it."
1 Corinthians 10:12, 13

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. In addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." Ephesians 6:10-11, 16

"For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted."
Hebrews 2:18

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."
James 1:2-3, 12

"Let no one say when he is tempted, I am being tempted by God; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust."
James 1:13, 14

"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

1 Peter 1:6-7

"Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world."
