Your Faith Is Your Fortune

"Not my will, but thine, be done." This resignation is not one of blind realization that "I can of myself do nothing, the Father within me he doeth the work," When man wills he attempts to make something which does not now exist appear in time and space. Too often we are not aware of that which we are really doing. We unconsciously state that we do not possess the capacities to express. We predicate our desire upon the hope of acquiring the necessary capacities in future time. "I AM not, but I will be." Man does not realize that consciousness is the Father which does the work, so he attempts t o express that which he is not conscious of being. Such struggles are doomed to failure; only the present expresses itself. Unless I am conscious of being that which I seek, I will not find it. God (your awareness) is the substance and fullness of all. God's will is the recognition of that which is, not of that which will be. Instead of seeing this saying as "Thine will be done," see it as "Thy will is done." The works are finished.

God's will is the recognition of what already IS (the works are finished), while man's will attempts to create something that does not yet exist, often based on future hope. True resignation means realizing that consciousness (the Father) does the work, and only the present state of consciousness expresses itself.
