"THY WILL, NOT MINE"
When making specific requests, it will be well to add to each one of them this qualification. " if it be Thy will"
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, page 102.
I ask simply that throughout the day God place in me the best understanding of His will that I can have for that day, and that I be given the grace by which I may carry it out. As the day goes on, I can pause when facing situations that
must be met and decisions that must be made, and renew the simple request: "Thy will, not mine, be done."
I must always keep in mind that in every situation I am responsible for the effort and God is responsible for the outcome. I can "Let Go and Let God" by humbly repeating: "Thy will, not mine, be done." Patience and persistence in
seeking His will for me will free me from the pain of selfish expectations.
