“Every good desire, every Christian thought and aspiration which I have, is something which has been produced in me by God. God controls my willing. It is God who energizes my very desires and hopes and aspirations and thoughts, He stimulates it all. . .I wonder whether we always realize that these desires for a fuller and better and more perfect Christian life are not self-generated or self-produced. When you have a desire to do something good, or a desire to pray, it is God who energizes it in your will, God working in us both to will and to do.”
– Martyn Lloyd-Jones on Phil. 2:12–13
