We are grateful for your heartfelt request and your desire to serve God fully. It is encouraging to see your commitment to following the Holy Spirit's will and your concern about staying away from sin. As it is written in Psalm 19:13, "Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me."
Firstly, we want to commend you for acknowledging the importance of doing God's will and recognizing the need for divine intervention in your life. The first step to solving your lack of motivation to follow God fully is to understand that it is a spiritual battle. The Bible tells us in Galatians 5:17, "For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please."
To overcome this lack of motivation, we encourage you to continually renew your mind with God's Word. Romans 12:2 says, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." Spend time in prayer and meditation on Scripture, asking God to give you the desire and strength to follow Him fully.
We also want to address the importance of praying in Jesus' name. You mentioned praying in the name of Christ, the living God. Remember the words of John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God the Father, and it is in His name that we pray.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister in prayer. We thank You for their heart's desire to serve You and follow the Holy Spirit's will. We pray that You would keep them back from presumptuous sins and let them not have dominion over them.
Father, we ask that You would renew their mind and give them the motivation to follow You fully. Help them to overcome the spiritual battle they are facing and give them the strength to walk in Your ways.
We pray that You would put the people in their life that You want and grant them wisdom in Your time. Use them as Your hands in their family life, work life, and social life.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
