I may have mentioned before the principle that you should sometimes do things that you don't want to do, but you know you should do. For instance, even though you may not enjoy reading your bible, you know you should, and you trust that spending time with God really is the best thing for you, and so you do it anyway. This demonstrates the dominance of the Will over the Heart. We have the ability to change our own hearts (well, God enables us to, praise the Lord) towards whatever we know is best.
I realized recently that this may be described from the thinkers point of view, trusting God through the knowledge that it is truly best for us. So perhaps this can be rephrased for those of you who are feelers: Trust that it will be better later, trust that God is the best thing for you. The key word there is trust. I'm sorry I can't describe it better than that.
The function is this: information, processed either though thinking or feeling (depending on what your natural mode is) informs your Will, which supercedes the sinful/unaligned inclinations of your heart to take action which is Godly and best for you despite whatever you may want.
