Everybody falls sometimes, it is in our nature as sinners. However, there is always hope when we recognize what it is we have done to slip away, asking God for strength to overcome this battle we are in. All we must do is lean on him throughout every single second of whatever is pulling at us, praying constantly! Not just for strength or for healing... but praying for others in a form of love that is wholly unselfish. And praising Him for all that he has blessed us with, (Satan tends to hate when we praise in the midst of trouble!) Always remember that it is not God that has brought strife, but Satan... even with Job... He had such great faith in him that He told Satan, yea... go ahead, try your best. Our glorious Father has such great faith in us that He allows these things to happen for our own good, to grow and to rely on Him! A father will tell you that when a child asks for his help with something it is pleasurable! The act of working with them in love makes them happy! So it is with God! He finds great pleasure in helping us when we come to Him! We must have faith in His power to heal and renew us through his spirit though. A confidence in His awesome power, not just saying "oh yea, he will pull me through", then trying to convince ourselves that we are moving forward. When He removes something from our shoulders it is absolutely noticeable! Just letting go of these things can be a problem for us though.
Because of this we need to remove our pride and say " Lord take my heart and renew me, it is yours. I submit my mind to you, to be cleansed of all thoughts but those that glorify you." In giving ourselves to Him He removes all that pulls us away from Him allowing us to take yet another step towards Him. Struggle can only be defined by how much we give to our Lord, If we give it all. then It no longer becomes a struggle. The lie that satan tells us is that we have to keep struggling through it in order to learn something. Our purpose is to glorify God! And He has PROMISED to remove our burdens if only we ask... it is that simple! Giving ourselves to Him then allows us to gain a wisdom that is supernatural. God will teach us then, when we come to Him through the power of His Holy Spirit which grants us personal access to Him through His son! So all this being said, I would like to encourage all who read this. That you have no need of fear, or worry. There is nothing you cannot overcome and nothing that can hold you back from what God has planned for you. His plans are great and those that He has personally chosen to do His work are not merely of a regular type, they are mighty sons and daughters of a King. :)
