If God’s Will for you is complete peace and joy, unless you experience only this you must be refusing to acknowledge His Will. His Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you are not at peace it can only be because you do not believe you are in Him. Yet He is All in all. His peace is complete, and you must be included in it. His laws govern you because they govern everything. You cannot exempt yourself from His laws, although you can disobey them. Yet if you do, and only if you do, you will feel lonely and helpless, because you are denying yourself everything. T-8.IV.1:1-8

When we are off track we are uneasy. When we are doing our own thing and not paying attention to God’s will for us, we are anxious. We feel that something is missing in our life. It dawns on us that there must be a better way. This dawning can precipitate a search for what some call “truth and meaning” but really is trying to discern God’s will for us.
In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm and promote the free and responsible search for truth and meaning. This search is an effort to discern God’s will for our lives.
Today it is suggested that we ask ourselves, “What the matters the most to me in my life is ______. _______, and _______.” Is what matters most to you in alignment with what you believe is God’s will for you?
