God knows that Jesus was the only perfect human being.
You can be perfected by believing on Jesus Christ.
Becoming perfect is not something you can do for yourself. God does it for you...

I admire your conviction. Many people who have the ability to go to church every week are not as worried about sanctity as you are.
God knows that the only perfect human is His Son, Jesus. So, do not become discouraged that you are a sinner. But, also do not give in to the notion that "I am a sinner and always will be, so why try?" As you grow in holiness, your sins will become less frequent and less severe. With time and grace you can reach a level where your sins are mere imperfections, but they will seem huge to you. This is because you will begin to see yourself through God's eyes. This will only happen through perseverance in prayer and penance. The most important thing is not to give up.

Join the "I always mess up" club. I am a member too.
We cannot make ourselves perfect. God knows that. That is why He sent Jesus to be the perfect human and then, as such, died a torturous death as a sacrifice for the sinfulness that we all have. I am glad you have been praying. Let me suggest this prayer that will have God viewing you as if you had never sinned:
Dear God, I confess that I am a sinner. I know that I do not deserve your love or grace. Forgive me for my sins. I know that they are many, because I mess up every day. The Bible says that Jesus died for me and that I can claim Him as my Savior and Lord of my life. Jesus, please be that for me. Please prepare a place in heaven for me. Help me to love you forever and to live for you. Amen

First of ,you need, to learn, accurate, knowledge, about God and Jesus(John3:16) and then of course, you need to use the, knowledge, by, practicing what you have learned, Going to Church though is not necessarily learning the truth, or learning, accurate, knowledge, accurate knowledge is only in the Bible, you say that you try to pray every night, that is a good start, who do you pray to? you need to direct your prayers to the only true God Jehovah(Romans10:13)Jehovah God loves those who put in earnest effort too seek the truth about him in his Word the Bible, and he blesses their efforts to do so,A Perfect human is in God's eyes the one who is willing to be taught by the Bible even though it is impossible today for humans tp be truly perfect, God gives us the way that we can follow that will lead us to be able to reach that destination, in his Word the Bible, he lovingly put his loving instructions down in it, so that we can benmefit ourselves in many ways, including to be able to live a very happy life even nowamidst all the troublesome things that are going on in this world these days, so please when you pray to God ask him for his guidance, in what you ask here, he is waiting for you to do so in sencerity, to answert you, but remember to listen to his answer, because it may not come the way you think it might. I was around your age when I asked him, and he answered me, he can do the same for you too.

no one is perfect hon, i love God with all my heart, but i cant be perfect, Jesus says to "strive to enter into the strait gate" pray that God will have mercy and show you the way to do just this.(you should read John Bunyan's testimony, i find it very good, and also read 'THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD' by A.W. pink, very insightful.
