Begin Now From Where You Are
To grow spiritually we must be totally dependent on our relationship with God. To improve that relationship we need his help. You don’t need a grand conversion experience. Rather for most of us, it’s a continual series of small, firm daily renewals that lead to a grand conversion. This type of conversion takes time to establish and additional time to grow.
A relationship with Jesus also is not dependent on you doing everything correctly. It means only that you desire to give him your heart. You are going to make mistakes or struggle, and he knows it. He is not going to stop putting graces in your life, and he is not going to ignore you if you struggle. You only need to raise your level of trust in God and he will support you.
Keep in mind that no one becomes a saint overnight - not the Apostles, not the martyrs, none of them reach sainthood in a single instant. Trust that Jesus is working with you in the middle of your trials, and that you are bearing far more fruit than you think you are. If you keep that mindset, then you will find the practice of dedicating each day to the Lord becoming easier and easier.
If you are not a regular Adoration adorer now would be a good time to start your conversion.
