God's will is individual to each of us. God does not have a preferred way other than it is always good, always for the benefit of all.
His way for me is whatever way I choose...every second of my life. That choice of mine His will meets and perfects. Our faith is built on trusting the outcome of that even and especially when, to our egoic mind, it feels and appears to be all wrong...it is being perfected for our benefit even then. That's why we say thank you asap and trust His perfected results.
Every life decision is a hold-your-nose-and-jump situation...that is spiritual initiation...some more reasoning mind than others but all self bound...trust by doing, do by trusting.
To rely on affirmations is to rely on the reasoning mind. We affirm ill health as non-existent, i.e., whole and healthy mind, heart, lungs, etc., but no...the human condition brings what it brings. The Christ is with us within us in the midst of any condition, imbuing us with peace and calm and joy (just as my friend spoke of as she lie dying in hospice).
The Father within meets each condition that self bring and perfects it for our benefit...it is our reasoning mind that is the slacker and needs calming...through spiritual discipline.
He goes before us to make the crooked places straight. Our blinding flash of the obvious is that His going before us is our face meeting our crooked place. It is magic thinking to believe the crooked place is removed so that we never need meet it...it is in the meeting that our faith is built.
Thank you.
