Is life harder because we don’t pray for virtue?

Morning: Psalm 97, 99; 2 Chronicles 29:1-3 & 30:1-27; I Cor 7:32-40
Why are the obvious virtues the hardest to practise?  Judge not.  Guard what is holy.  Do to others as you would have them do to you.  No-one disagrees with these, yet no-one practises them consistently.  We judge. We squander our greatest treasures. We do not treat others with the grace and love that we ourselves desire.  The answer may lie in the hardest virtue of all … PRAYER … Do our prayers too often seek things for ourselves; whereas if we prayed more for help in being non-judgmental, holy and kind, maybe these virtues would come easily to us?
