By allowing us to see ourselves and praying about our shortcomings. Asking God to direct our way and lead us to (or back in the way of His righteousness) His path of righteousness.

I have experience this, however, it was selfish thinking and selfish acting behaviors that were nit aligned with God, His purpose, His plan and His way. Not having that, I felt more of the hardness of those burdens which as a result caused me to come to myself, realizing, I need God always for everything aspect of my life.

I have experienced this and the pressures of what I was/have/are experience in those moments is what drew me to prayer and learning to pray without stopping. Pray more not less. Pray about everything. Worry about nothing because of being able to trust God even the more so. This allows your faith to have continual growth. This also allows you to more hopeful because of the promises of God.

Sanctification is an ongoing process. As we grow in our Christain life and learn to rely on God, He teaches us His ways, through the Holy Spirit and the biblical scriptures that are all mirrored by Jesus Christ our Savior and all those who believe in Him and earnestly follow God. So Through this process we die to self and live for God.

Listening, not just hearing, conversing even more, not just talking, praying more, longing to be closer with God. Being faithful to God (in terms of no matter what) and also learning the more how to trust God and not trying to take it all on myself for whatever the issue may be.
