Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how does a person get accustomed to standing in night prayer, knowing that he is eager to do so, but sometimes he feels lazy and weak?
Answer:
Yes, he returns himself, he returns himself, and he gets up, even if his soul is reluctant, he gets up and resolves to do so. At first, it is reluctant, but in the end, it becomes accustomed and takes pleasure in it, looking forward to standing in prayer when its time comes.[As-Sajdah 32:16]. And of what We have provided them, they spend. So their sides turn away from the beds. Yes.

They arise from [their] beds; they supplicate their Lord in fear and aspiration
تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا
