Godly discipline and human willpower are two very different things. Willpower only lasts temporarily, and is entirely dependent upon our own ability. But Godly discipline goes far beyond mere human “ummph” and comes only through yielding to His Spirit and relying on His grace. There have been many mornings when I have whispered, “Lord, I do not have the energy to get out of bed and spend time with You. Please give me the grace to do what I cannot do on my own.” Whenever I pray this prayer in earnest, I find that He enables me, by His grace, to do what would otherwise be impossible in my own strength. You don’t have to muster up your own willpower to embrace Godly discipline. All you must do is take steps of obedience, and call upon Him for the strength to do what you could never do on our own. - Leslie
