There. That is my belief based on my life experience...God's will, God's way is the opposite of my will, my way, only better.
I have an incurable, progressive disease. I prayed...really, really hard...to have this disease lessened so I could live with it comfortably. When that got a resounding No, I finally prayed that it be lifted out of me, and that would be all.
God's will, God's way came to my rescue: I got another No, I gave up all hope, I crashed and burned without a prayer in my heart.
From those ashes of mine, God re-formed me, my life reversed from sad to glad, and I've been as happy as if I have good sense.
The wonderful news is when self-will is doing my thinking for me, I turn to God. I often say that nothing turns me to God faster than fear, but in truth nothing turns me to God faster than my own resistance to anything. But then, blinding flash, what is resistance but fear?
Here's the secret: Thank you does not change that which we are resisting, it transmutes our resistance which deepens our faith, leaving us fret-free. We now know from within that God has us in his capable hands.
Send up a thank you, walk free.
Thank you.
