“Thy will be done.” To whom are you speaking when you state this hallowed phrase? Be always aware that you are speaking to your Self, for you and your Maker cannot be separated. Where do you draw the line between the sunbeam and the sun? Yes, as a ray of Light, as a focus of Consciousness, as an intelligent being that arises from Infinite Intelligence you can find your way quite well in this world and beyond, but why would you choose to walk alone, unguided, when the One who sees all, knows all, and loves all is always available to guide your every step?

It is only when you act as an impudent child and demand your independence that you encounter difficulties. But God is infinitely patient with his offspring. He allows you to find your own way, and if you should become lost and cry out for help, he responds. But do not wait until the road is bumpy or you get lost. Relinquish this egoic need for independence. Acknowledge and rejoice in your Oneness with Spirit, as spirit. Declare in every moment, “Thy will be done.” Then watch how the road smoothes out and spreads out beautifully before you … a golden pathway lighted by the blinding light of the Father, who always knows what is best for his children.
