Then I must be doing something wrong. I find repenting to be quite a bit like "stop smoking." First I try and fail on my own. Then I try again, and again, until I truly realize I can't do it on my own. Then God reminds me that it's not I who am able. It's him. So I do it with him, keep wanting to go back to doing what I'm comfortable with doing, have to keep seeking his help, have to keep figuring out what to do next, because, let's face it, sinning is a lot easier than not sinning, and keep seeking him, get utterly confused, pace, go do something -- anything -- not to do it again for the next ten minute, remember to seek God, who then finally gives me a little hint -- a little sign -- that this is something he wants me to do and is helping me to do, and then it gets a little easier and easier with practice, and I stumble on what to replace it with, and then, and then, and then...
Before I know it, I kind of learn how to do that one thing in him just as he's calling me to task about repenting of the next thing.
I don't think it's easy. It's not peace of mind yet, but I know, and only from the past, it gets easier. I do have comfort that it is God's way, but peace of mind? Is there enough time in his lesson plans to sit back and enjoy that often?
