God's will is not about protecting us from parading our arrogance, God's will is about learning humility when we get caught parading our arrogance.
There's an excellent example of why God's will is not something without thought we pray for...to get caught parading our arrogance is a natural fear. To seek to parade our arrogance in order to get still more spiritual growth is a corruption of spiritual and natural instincts.
To show our ignorance (which is arrogance stripped bare)...inadvertently, from neither fear nor favor...is to live naturally, humbly if you will...not by pondering nor by self-deducing...the bottom line of which is usually what's in it for me?...but by grace.
Grace...undefinable, unself-willable, un...that may be my new definition of God's will, God's way...simply un. Ah, therein perfect.
Thank you.
