Thy will be done part 1

Thy will be done or my will be done? This is something that seems to run through everything when it comes to our relationship with God. It is something that can be practiced every day as we go through our lives. And it is something that is talked about in all the major religions, as well as in countless spiritual traditions. In every given moment, we can choose to surrender to the will of God, or we can resist what is. In every given moment, we can choose to follow our little ego as it struggles to have its way, no matter what reality is. Or we can surrender to God. 

But there is something more to this. This insight was sort of an aha-moment yesterday, when I listened to John Ortberg. But now that I’m writing it down, it seems like nothing new. I’ll have to think some more about this and make a part 2. I’m sure God will let it come back to me, because I know that it was something important.
