From Philip Yancey's book on prayer that I've been reading recently...
Whenever I get depressed by a lack of spiritual progress, I realize that my very dismay is a sign of progress. I have the sense of slipping further from God mainly because I have a clearer idea of what God desires and how far short I fall.
When I first read this, I thought immediately of a dear friend who is going through a bit of a rough time...but the more I contemplate it, the more I understand its application for myself, too.
