Gods will for us becomes our own true will for ourselves.

The Twelve Steps are a path to spiritual awakening. This awakening takes the form of a developing relationship with a loving Higher Power. Each succeeding step strengthens that relationship. As we continue to work the steps, the relationship grows, becoming ever more important in our lives.
In the course of working the steps, we make a personal decision to allow a loving Higher Power to direct us. That guidance is always available; we need only the patience to seek it. Often, that guidance manifests itself in the inner wisdom we call our conscience.
When we open our hearts wide enough to sense our Higher Powers guidance, we feel a calm serenity. This peace is the beacon that guides us through our troubled feelings, providing clear direction when our minds are busy and confused. When we seek and follow Gods will in our lives, we find the contentment and joy that often elude us when we strike out on our own. Fear or doubt may plague us when we attempt to carry out our Higher Powers will, but weve learned to trust the moment of clarity. Our greatest happiness lies in following the will of our loving God.

Just for today: I will seek to strengthen my relationship with my Higher Power. I know from experience that knowledge of my Higher Powers will provides a sense of clarity, direction, and peace.
Be not anxious for anything but in all things with prayer and supplication bring your petitions before God and find that peace that surpasses all understanding through God. By seeking God's will we will not limit ourselves and just be content with that "fleeting glimpse"that we ask for but will allow God's limitless will to reign in our lives! Just for today I will remain teachable and ready to accept God's will for me.
