1 Kings 8:58

"'May he give us the desire to do his will in everything and to obey all the commands, decrees, and regulations that he gave our ancestors.'"

 

Life with God is about having the heartfelt desire to please him. If you don't have this desire at the moment (or at any moment), you can pray for it. This might also apply to particular areas we struggle with, such as forgiving someone. We know we should, yet we don't really want to. First, pray for the desire to obey, to forgive, to serve, or to do whatever the Holy Spirit brings to mind. If we can't immediately obey, we can ask God to change our hearts first.
