“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground” (Psalm 143:10).
True peace is not found in following our own desires, but in learning to align every thought and decision with the will of the Lord. When we give up forbidden joys and anxious desires that draw us away from Him, the heart becomes free. The path of obedience may seem narrow, but it is precisely there that we discover security and serenity.
Therefore, choose what is pure and right. God’s sublime commandments do not limit us, but guard us from that which destroys the soul. To follow them is to learn to desire only what the Father desires, leaving behind the impulses that lead to ruin. It is in this simple and faithful living that the Lord reveals His plans and leads us to a future of hope.
So, in every choice, make the will of the Most High your priority. Whoever lives in obedience discovers the peace that the world does not know and is prepared to be led to the Son, where there is forgiveness and eternal salvation. Adapted from F. Fénelon. See you tomorrow, if the Lord allows.
Pray with me: Beloved Lord, I place myself before You and acknowledge that I need to let go of desires that do not come from Your will. Help me to reject what is forbidden and to seek only what pleases You.
Father, guide me so that I may find joy in Your sublime commandments. May I learn to desire only what You desire, and may my life be a reflection of Your will.
Oh, dear God, I thank You because You show me the way of true peace. Your beloved Son is my eternal Prince and Savior. Your powerful Law is a firm road for the soul. Your commandments are pure springs that refresh my life. I pray in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
