Not My Will

In the long run, it's easier to carry out our Higher Power's will than our own.
Attempting to make the rest of the world conform to what I think I want is a little like trying to push water uphill.
It's not only frustrating - it's exhausting.
Getting in touch with a Higher Power frees me from the trap of self-will.
I can move with the rhythm of reality instead of being stuck in fantasy.
I can discover how I can be useful and what it is we do best.
How can I be sure I'm doing my Higher Power's will?
There is, of course, no certain way to know, but what I rely on is an inner sense of lightness and rightness.
I pray for guidance, I ask for answers, I listen to my inner voice, and I talk to people whose opinion I respect.
I also believe if what I'm doing is not my Higher Power's will for me, I'll find out, since it won't work.
I ask to know my Higher Power's will for me today and the ability to carry it out.
