So who's in control?

بَلَىٰ مَنْ كَسَبَ سَيِّئَةً وَأَحَاطَتْ بِهِ خَطِيئَتُهُ فَأُولَٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ
البقرة[81]

 وَإِذْ أَخَذْنَا مِيثَاقَكُمْ وَرَفَعْنَا فَوْقَكُمُ الطُّورَ خُذُوا مَا آتَيْنَاكُمْ بِقُوَّةٍ وَاسْمَعُوا ۖ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَعَصَيْنَا وَأُشْرِبُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْعِجْلَ بِكُفْرِهِمْ ۚ قُلْ بِئْسَمَا يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِهِ إِيمَانُكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ
البقرة[93]

 I can't imagine that the human being keeps on sinning till actually it's not under his/her control, but under the sin's manipulation. Usually, the person thinks that he/she has many strengths; however, it's totally opposite to this, so he reaches a point when he/she may be like a slave to his/her desires. This can actually happen to us as well and isn't necessarily limited to non-muslims. I think it usually occurs if we do less ibadah or we do it quickly like many of our prayers or because of our numerous sins. Unfortunately, the person can hardly realize what happened to him/her when he/she is already indulged in such state. Therefore, it is hard to tell whether you are bad or good, so you simply ask Allah to guide you to the straight path. I believe that the mobile for many people and at least for me became this thing that controls us, because we can't let go of such an 'essential' thing as we may call. Maybe we can leave it for a while physically, but our hearts probably don't, so that's why we end up being attached to it again. It's a horrible cycle that no one can detach our hearts from this but Allah, because he's the most powerful and strong. Allah swt created us and definitely he has the cure for our hearts. However, we still gotta do our best to show ourselves worthy of Allah's provision of detaching our hearts from these temporary things.
اللهم لا تعلق قلوبنا بالدنيا بل بالآخرة 🙏🏼
