God is still offended by the sin even though you have no power over it. It's simply a.matter of dropping the pride and asking for forgiveness. You can't completely live a sin-free life, but you can acknowledge that God has the power and will still forgive a repentant person. It's more about whether or not you want to sin.
God is supposed to be all-good and all-powerful. If God is offended by sin, there wouldn't be any. Nothing can happen against God's goodness and God's will.
