“To will what God wills” – what a profound phrase!
How many of us, if asked to measure our current Christian lives by that standard, could unequivocally confirm that a desire “to will what God wills” composes the very center of our lives?
I don’t know about you, but my prayers often feel like an attempt to bend God’s will to my own. That seems like it might be a pretty good indication that I have got things backwards!
