I have made it a point to say, “Thy will be done, not mine.” several times per day. If I catch my self saying it without really thinking about the consequences and meaning the proclamation, I break it down further. I’ll say, “God’s will be done, and not your will, Jay.”
I have been doing it for roughly 8 years, and today, I almost always have reconciled myself to God’s will in these circumstances.
The funny thing is, I have learned that the more I submit to His will, the better life seems to be. Things seem to go right. When they do go wrong, I am often able to see a pattern where God’s logic makes sense. God has a great sense of humor
