Praise Monday – Thy Will

Spread the love

Starting the new week with a heart of praise, oriented to the Divine Will of the Father.

The words, tone and flow of this song always gets me. She starts out crying out to God, almost questioning His Will. She seems to want to have faith but is struggling. By the last, ‘Thy Will’ becomes a fight song to strengthen and empower to overcome.

Have you ever been in a dark time in your life, a time in which you may be questioning the Will of God. ‘Why this? What is it you wants from me?’ To find that through prayer and being open to God’s whispers, you find yourself praising God for the same Divine Will you had previously questioned.

I begged God to heal my daughter. With and in faith, I knew He could do it if it was His Will. And, when He didn’t, I struggled and cried out to God these same questions. ‘What did I do that You won’t answer?’ ‘Why won’t You heal her?’ “I did everything right, yet somehow I ended up here.” And so on.

But, over time, through St. Faustina’s personal teachings on trust and God’s own work in my heart, I’ve come to praise His Divine Will in those unanswered prayers.

I know He could have healed her, and I would have thanked and praise Him. But, I would have been stuck in that moment. I would have never learned to trust Him at all times and in all things. Because of these unanswered prayers, I do know now what trust truly is and my faith is stronger than I ever dreamed possible. From this, many have come to know and trust God.

Sometimes I gotta stop
Remember that You’re God
And I am not
So

Thy will be done
Thy will be done
Thy will be done

I know you hear me!

Christmas is coming, buy my book and share this story of learning God’s Will and learning to trust through God’s presence.
