God's Will.

Hebrews 10:5-10

Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: 

"Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, 

but a body you prepared for me; 

with burnt offerings and sin offerings 

you were not pleased.
Then I said, 'Here I am – it is written about me in the scroll —
I have come to do your will, O God.'
"First he said, "Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them" (although the law required them to be made). Then he said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." He sets aside the first to establish the second. And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. (NIV)

“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 59)

God’s will.
God’s will, God’s will,
God’s will!
Te Deum.
Tedium.
Okay. But why the “only” —
I’ve a perfectly good will,
worked just fine for
most everything,
all but the compulsion.
God’s will for that,
mine for the rest!
Why NOT!?
Mine works.
It got me where I am.
Or where I was
when I stumbled into
the rooms of recovery.
Oops. Okay.
God’s will.

God, I’m here to help.
But I need help
to remember I’m here to help,
not to lead.
