Sill, repeated act contribute to a disposition. Whether that disposition becomes a permanent feature of one's life, depends upon the operations of grace. The latter is not in our control.

That is, God never directly wills or intends moral evil or physical evil (defects, malum poenae). But his antecedent will can be thwarted because he entrusts it to fallible instruments.
