Daily verse:
>So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure, because we look not at what can be seen but what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.
--2 Corinthians 4:16-18

if my will is done by my desire, what causes my desire?
If it is my reasoning, where do I get my reasoning other than my experiences?
If my desire it because I value pleasure over virtue or vice versat, that is because I valued one over the other. But this is only true because of my past experiences.
free will brain let's can't explain how we will things in the first place. It is a presumption. There is no explanation for how we can go from a state of no will, to will on our own accord. For anything that says we will from external stimuli is deterministic

Free will doesn't matter
Although what separates human from angel is the fact that we have free will, and the reason satan became satan was because of his free will
