What Christians model best, since we are lousy at modeling perfection, is modeling forgiveness. As we pray in the Lord's Prayer, "forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us." In fact, no where in the Lord's Prayer did Jesus ask us to ask for help in perfecting our lives! The Lord's Prayer recognizes that sin is all around us and we are all affected by sin, but it never says, "give me strength that I may improve my life."
