Have you ever felt like there is an internal conflict going on inside of you? Maybe you can\’t quite put your finger on it, but you feel a sort of tug-of-war within your being. It\’s kind of like angst but with no particular reason that you can think of. I experienced this for many years while continuing with my own spiritual practice. I remember reading texts that spoke of God\’s Will and I thought to myself, \”What\’s the difference between my will and God\’s Will? And what exactly is God\’s Will anyways?\” I knew that I wished to know what God\’s Will was, but I couldn\’t honestly say that I did. So I sat with that question for many years and sometimes it became larger than life for me to look at.

When I think about my will, I think about what actions I will take. What decisions I will make in my life and so forth. But is that the way God\’s Will works? Maybe it\’s more subtle than that. Maybe God\’s Will is within your being. Of course what you do comes out of your being, but the source or cause of what actions you take come from your mind. Your thoughts and feelings about your world, your relationships and identity of who you are, are all made up by you.

It\’s true that some of those things are seemingly handed down to us by our parents, grandparents and other people who influenced us as a child growing up, but on a soul level, we chose those things for our soul\’s spiritual growth. See, if I\’ve learned anything about God\’s Will it\’s this. It is All Good Things. I mean it is abundance, health, love, caring, beauty, wonder, mystery, healing, infinite supply and eternal renewal. To the degree we are experiencing these things in our daily lived experience we know God\’s Will. And the place we find those things is within our being.

This is the turning point or the fulcrum on which hinges my will or God\’s Will. Are you looking out at the world in search of love? Are you looking for validation from another person to love you so you can love yourself? Maybe you are looking for work but don\’t desire to help others and be of service. God\’s Will is within your being, your consciousness, your mind. One of the best ways to attune to it is meditation. But I strongly encourage you to find a very experienced teacher for proper results.

Maybe you are a good person that truly wants to help others but you are experiencing lack in some way. Maybe you are being tested. Sometimes there is a purification period in your spiritual journey to God\’s Will. You must release old patterns and habits of thought that may be blocking your attunement to the Infinite Abundance within. If you have been asking God for guidance about what you should do, I suggest trying a particular meditation practice that I still use for clear guidance. It comes from a Deepak Chopra book, The Spontaneous and it\’s too long to go into for this article. I talk a little about it on my About Me page.

In the end, your will and God\’s Will are the same thing. It\’s just a case of mistaken identity for most of us. Who we think we are is so much smaller and limited compared to our true Self. I applaud you if you are committing to your spiritual growth. Your life will never be the same again.
