"You must ask for God's help. Even when you have done so, it may seem to you for a long time that no help, or less help than you need, is being given.
Never mind.
After each failure, ask forgiveness, pick yourself up, and try again. Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again.
...The only fatal thing is to sit down content with anything less than perfection."
~C.S. Lewis Mere Christianity, p. 101
