If I want to get up earlier and pray but it doesn't happen because I go back to sleep then how is it that God supersedes willpower? Surely God expects us to use willpower if not worship it?
I aim to get up at 5:30 but with the Xmas holidays it's been difficult somehow. I've been getting up around an hour later on average despite visualising. I have an affirmation, maybe I should use that more.
Wayne Dyer gets up at 3:30-4am, Margaret Thatcher had 5 hours sleep per night, Condoleeza Rice had 4 hours apparently, Geoff Thompson gets up at 5am. I've read about a house wife who became a novelist who gets up at 4, reads a bible writes a journal, exercises, answers emails at 6am them works from 10-4pm writing. I suspect at least three of these pray but there's iron will there as well.
Surely will-power, affirmations etc are more important than just praying?
