Quite often my desire and God's will are the same thing...it is how I get that desire to align with God's will that is my path today.
A self-determined objective will direct my thinking...the very words "self-determined" make that clear. When I am focused on a want, that want becomes the God of my understanding.
Turning my thoughts to the Power within, I simply ask, "If it be Thy will that this want comes to me, how do I go forward toward it." Then I wait. And remind myself that I do not need the absolute answer this very instant...I want it, I do not need it. Want is of the ego, need is of God.
Then I follow my own inner Self's guidance...let God speak through me, for me. Here is where my want is transmuted into a need (and for that matter the last thing in the world my ego would have considered). This comes without fail when I sincerely seek to do God's will, not my will. My concentration is completely on God, not on my want.
Again a paradox: The way forward is through the self-discipline of shucking self.
Today I practice.
Thank You.
