God desires for us to grow, to become like Christ, to be strong, to be the light. Growing takes time, but if we are committed to change, through prayer and dedication we can do it. You can't try to live the Christian life; you will fail every time. In our own strength, our righteousnesses are like a filthy rag (Isaiah 64:6). Believers are raised up in Christ, and cannot be mature without communicating with God through prayer and reading His Word. God will choose a method for us to be strengthened and grow in our faith in His Word, thereby conforming us to the image of His son. We must be willing to submit to this process.
