It is better to go bruised to heaven than sound to hell. Therefore let us not take off ourselves too soon, nor pull off the plaster before the cure be wrought, but keep ourselves under this work till sin be the sourest, and Christ the sweetest, of all things.
In the arena
God uses conviction of sin the way a surgeon uses a blade. You don't avoid necessary treatment just because it tastes bad or hurts.
Pick one sin you keep excusing. The one you've made peace with. Maybe it's the anger you call "passion," or the laziness you call "rest." Name it plainly. Don't soften it. Ask Him to make that sin taste bitter to you and to make Christ taste sweeter by contrast. Read Psalm 139:23-24, where David prays for God to search him and know his anxious thoughts, to see if there is any offensive way in him.
That's a dangerous prayer. Pray it anyway. Discipline from God is not your enemy.
