"Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord. For we live by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it."
2 CORINTHIANS 5:5-9
We are here as sons and daughters of the most high to do his will - not ours. That means in doing God's will, we do not have emotion. Emotion is individual based. It comes from a worry or some unknown fear that enters the mind when you take the path of God - which is unknown.
The walk with Jesus is one of faith and obedience. It is more about self denial with Jesus such that he can mold you perfect for his Holy purpose. It is the Lord's will we pray for God's will, not ours. He knows better than us. Pray for God's will to be done in you - then let Jesus live in faith.
When at first the Lord gains our attention in a matter of inspiration, we pledge our allegiance to him. When the Lord begins his work in us and the trials and difficulties become tiresome, our faces become sad and tired. It is in the unknown in which he desires to do his will - as obscure people far from praise. It is in the daily life that the Lord needs workers. We are molded and tested in the small and obscure to be made whole, willing to do the Lord's will in all situations we are placed.
