Chris.
We need not to be passive in our will, it is just like being asleep. Our will is a very important part of our life. It is so difficult to live if our will is not functioning correctly. Some people have a broken will, surely God wants to heal that. Some people have submitted their will to something wrong, surely God wants to correct that. Some people have a will that is bound by fear, surely God wants to free that. Let us believe God for a healthy will that functions well.
