Letting God's Will Be Done

LA VONA LINHARDT

"Thy will be done." Matt. 6:10; These words from the prayer taught by the Master, Christ Jesus, are the key to all right endeavor. Heeding them determines the harmony and productivity of daily experience. God's will is spiritual, never material. It is good, never evil. It contains no element of luck or chance but manifests divine intelligence, order, and power.

As we earnestly pray that God's will be done in every activity, we see the blessings that come from obedience to the divine will. We feel the peace and assurance of God's direction and presence. The confusion, pressure, tension, and weariness emanating from actions governed by human will are overcome by the order and harmony of God's government.

The real man is spiritual, immortal. Therefore mortal beliefs and material desires are no part of man. His nature reflects the divine; hence human will is not the essence and controlling force of his being. The divine will alone governs God's idea, man. Recognizing the divine will at work in our consciousness and obeying it, we find our problems being solved in ways that bless all concerned. Letting God's will be done is trust in the perfect government of God and renunciation of animal magnetism, the down pull of evil, in its many disguises.
