Reflection: The will of God in all things

Wouldn't it be nice if you could always do the Will of God? What if I could simply make the choice to say "Yes" perfectly to God in all things and in all situations? The truth is, you can. The only thing that hinders you from this absolute choice is your stubborn will (See Diary n. 374).

It is difficult to admit that we are stubborn and full of will. It is difficult to let go of our will and instead choose God's will in all things. As difficult as it may be, we need to make sure that our decision is resolute. And when we fail, we have to solve it again. Never tire of trying again and again. Your unfailing effort brings joy to the heart of our Lord.

Prayer 

Lord, I wish to embrace your Divine Will in all things. Help me to be free from my selfish will and to choose only You in all things. I abandon myself in your hands. When I fall, help me get up rather than discourage me. Jesus I believe in you.
