Many of the times that I pray for God’s will, I really want God to give me my will. I want what I want. I want Union, but union of God’s will and mine. I want surrender, but God to surrender to my will. I pray for my Giants to win the World Series. Well, that ain’t going to happen. Even that is beyond God. When I get into this fix, I then try to begin my prayer with, “What is it I want?” Name it. Then turn it over to God and don’t pay my agenda much attention. My meditation methods are to ignore myself. My mess is that I think I am being still, while in fact, I am getting in the way of God. Not God’s way, but just in the way. I am my own stumbling block.

This happens sometimes to me, too. I try to be gentle with myself and let go ❤️
