When the willingness doesn't come
“For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.”Philippians 2:13
Reflection
There are days you don't even feel like praying, reading, continuing. And it's okay to admit it. The good news: even the willingness God gives. You don't have to manufacture the desire — ask for it. Tell Him: 'I have no willingness, give me some.' He works the will, then the doing. Start with the request.
Prayer
Lord, give me the willingness for what is Yours. I don't have it today. Amen.
Put it into practice
If spiritual willingness is lacking today, instead of forcing yourself, ask God to work the will in you.
To reflect on
Have you tried to manufacture will by your own effort or asked God to work it in you?
