To become like a little child, over and over again, is one of the more difficult tasks of a believer. Our tendency, as we grow in Christ, is to become better at life. We get wiser, more loving, and more prudent; so naturally we then become less dependent. So the very work of Christ in us can make us more distant from the spirit of Christ.--Paul Miller

I remember C. S. Lewis saying somewhere that the virtues we are praying for would destroy us if God gave them to us in our present state.
