Philippians 2:13 NLT "For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him."

GOD IS WORKING IN YOU

A lot of us are not conscious of this truth; the fact that God is constantly at work in us, making us willing and giving us the ability as well to do His will. And because we don't live with this consciousness we sometimes resist His work in us; we think it's our minds telling us to do it, but it's the Holy Spirit.

He does two things: He gives us the desire and the power to do what pleases Him, and He also restrains us from doing what doesn't please Him. For instance, God said to Abimelech, “Yes, I know that you are innocent and that you did not know what you were doing. I saved you. I did not allow you to sin against me. I was the one who did not allow you to sleep with her." Genesis 20:6.

Hebrews 13:20-21 says, "Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen."
