We can't change by fancy methods. We can't change by mere willpower. But God's Spirit working in us can help us to "will and to act according to his good purpose" (Philippians 2:13).

About This Quote

It is easy to get discouraged when we fail at something. We feel like we should be able to change and do better, but the truth is that we can’t. God’s Spirit can change us though, and He promises to help us. The Bible says that “God works in us both to will and to do his good pleasure” (Phil 2:13). That means that He does the changing and we simply need to be willing to accept it.
