God's will for us is not hidden like a buried treasure. It is right there inside and around us. It is happening, right now. Sometimes, it is quiet and uneventful and includes the daily disciplines of responsibility and learning to take care of ourselves. Sometimes, it is healing us when we're in circumstances that trigger old grieving and unfinished business. Sometimes, it is grand.
We do have a part. We have responsibilities, including caring for ourselves. But we do not have to control God's will for us. We are being taken care of. We are protected. And the Power caring for and protecting us loves us very much.
If it is a quiet day, trust the stillness. If it is a day of action, trust the activity.
If it is time to wait, trust the pause. If it is time to receive that which we have been waiting for, trust that it will happen clearly and with power, and receive the gift of joy.
Today, I will trust that God's will is happening as it needs to in my life. I will not make myself anxious and upset by searching vigorously for God's will, taking necessary actions to control the course of my destiny or wondering if God's will has passed me by and I have missed it.

God gives us abundance in all things, that we might use it on behalf of the healing of the world.

AA Thought of the Day / Every day is a day when we must carry the vision of God's will into all our activities. / AA, p. 85


This may shock you, but I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position. Attitude is that "single string" that keeps me going or cripples my progress. It alone fuels my fire or assaults my hope. When my attitudes are right, there's no barrier too high, no valley too deep, no dream too extreme, no challenge too great for me.
Charles R. Swindoll

Within our time of silence we find our connection to spirit. We have been given the wisdom; all the knowledge we need is at our fingertips. The confidence to move ahead and offer our unique talents to others comes from Spirit. We are all that we need to be. Through our partnership with Spirit, we are living in harmony, and can address each lesson and succeed.
Maria Yraceburu

Life is very simple. What we give out, we get back. I believe that everyone, myself included, is responsible for every experience in our lives, the best and the worst. Every thought we think is creating our future. Each one of us creates our experiences by the thoughts we think and the words we speak and the beliefs we hold.
Louise L. Hay

We can all afford to grow up a little more and experience the joy and freedom of exercising our own personal power.
Lloyd J. Thomas

The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
