There is a story that while St. Thomas Aquinas was praying, Christ came and asked him what he would have; He would give him anything he desired. Thomas Aquinas said "Only You Lord."
This is how you must live. No matter what you are struggling with, or what virtue or grace you are asking for, you must remember that ultimately what you desire is Him. The only purpose of virtue is to get to Christ. Trust that He wants you to reach Him! In His time, following His way, you will be united with Him. It will involve trials and sufferings; keep your eyes on the prize and remember that you are struggling to gain virtue soley in order to gain Christ.
