Reflection for the Day
I'm learning - all too slowly, at times - that when I give up the losing battle of trying to run my life in my own way, I gain abiding peace and deep serenity. For many of us, that learning process is a painfully slow one. Eventually, however, we understand that there are only two wills in the world, my will and God's. Whatever is within my direct control is my will; whatever is beyond my direct control is His will. So I try to accept that which is beyond my control as God's will for me.
Am I beginning to realize that by surrendering my will to the Divine Will, I am for the first time living without turmoil and without anxiety?
Today I Pray
May I hope that my will can be congruent with the all-encompassing will of God. I pray that I will know immediately if my will is in a useless tug-of-war with His Divine Will. May I trust God now to guide my will according to his Master Plan - and to make His purpose mine.
Today I Will Remember
Achievement comes when my will is in harmony with God's.
