Do I pray that the Lord gives me the desire to do his will, or do I look for compromises because I'm afraid of God's will?

We should commit ourselves to 'eucharistic coherence,' that is, we should be conscious that people cannot receive holy communion and at the same time act or speak against the commandments, in particular when abortions, euthanasia, and other serious crimes against life and family are facilitated.
