“The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble, and He knows those who take refuge in Him” (Nahum 1:7).
How does our will become sanctified? When we sincerely decide to align every desire, every plan, every intention with the will of God. This means wanting only what He wants and firmly rejecting everything He does not desire. It is a daily and intentional choice to unite our limited and weak will with the powerful and perfect will of the Creator, who always fulfills what He determines. When this union happens, our soul finds rest, because nothing affects us beyond what God Himself has allowed.
Many think that the will of God is an inaccessible mystery, difficult to understand. But the truth is that it has already been clearly revealed in the Scriptures, through the Law of God announced by the prophets and confirmed by Jesus. The will of God is written, visible, concrete. Whoever wants to know the will of the Father only needs to turn to His Law, obey with faith, and walk with humility. There are no secrets — there is direction, there is light, there is truth.
When we surrender our desires and plans to the will of God, we begin to experience something beyond human logic: divine strength and wisdom flow within us. The soul is strengthened. Decisions become more accurate. Peace settles in. Being within the will of God is living at the center of the eternal purpose — and there is no safer, wiser, or more blessed place than this. -Adapted from François Mothe-Fénelon. Until tomorrow, if the Lord permits us.
Pray with me: Dear God, I thank You for showing me that the sanctification of my will begins with a sincere decision to align completely with Yours. What a privilege it is to let go of my own desires to embrace what You want for me. You are not a distant God — You are a loving Father who clearly reveals the right path through Your Word.
My Father, today I ask You to help me unite my fragile will with Your perfect will. May I not be deceived by confusing thoughts or the idea that Your will is unreachable. You have already revealed it through Your holy Law, confirmed by Your beloved Son. Teach me to obey with faith, to walk with humility, and to trust that You always fulfill what You determine.
Oh, Most Holy God, I adore and praise You because You chose to reveal Your will with love and clarity. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is like a pure flame that consumes all selfishness and purifies the desires of the soul. Your commandments are like faithful compasses, firmly pointing to the center of Your will, where peace, strength, and true wisdom dwell. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
