Well, yes and no to the idea we can't perfectly obey. Certainly I need the Lord's help to accomplish his will, and I haven't reached perfection. But by obeying the Lord's commandments we avoid a tremendous amount trouble. And the Lord does tell us we must be perfect "as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matt 5:48 RSV)The problem is no one can perfectly "obey" in the sense that I assume you mean it to be...
Since the command is basically summed up in this "always do and be good", key word being "always", of which we all fall short...
I'd say always do your best in this (above), and be humble when you fall short, always talk to and with God about it, then "get up" and try, try, try again, and again... Trying to learn how to do and be better from the experience and improve every time...
And, Love always, for Love covers a multitude of sins and is the only true path that will be the only way for your trying to obey to succeed in the end...
Love is the only way to even possibly fulfill the law... Nothing else and no other method or path will work, of that I can guarantee you...
God Bless!
