The Bible says, "the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." But what does someone do, if even the spirit seems "weak" and no longer "willing?"
The Bible also says that God is at work in his children "to will and to do" his "good pleasure." But what if this also seems not to be happening?
The sight of man, at his sanctified best, only "looks on the outward appearance." Only God can be trusted to see things as they really are. Sometimes faith only has the "seemings" as its wiggle room. Faith is most needed here, because its enemy (under the curse) is "sight." And under these circumstances, everything we seem to see is telling us exactly the opposite of the truth. What (or Whom) we "believe" at these times, defines us!
