Sanctification Speed

Sometimes I get frustrated with the speed of my sanctification. I should just be able to be more disciplined and speed up the sloth-like pace, right?

And then I remember that it is not contingent on how disciplined I am. Or on me at all.

But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.
And when I am reminded that it is by the name of Jesus that I am sanctified, I realize that what I consider a sloth-like pace is exactly the pace that God has planned.
