We say we want God’s will.

We pray for it.
We claim we’re chasing it.
We even post about it.

But if we’re honest, a lot of us are actually chasing a version of God’s will that fits our dreams, our timeline, and our comfort zone.

We treat God like a custom contractor:
“God, I need a house… a spouse… a job… a better income… and please throw in peace for my kids while You’re at it.”

And yet, Jesus taught us to pray differently:

“Your Kingdom come, Your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10)

That’s not “your will redesigned to match my five-year plan.”
That’s full surrender.

He Already Has a Will for You

God doesn’t need to create a new plan just for me.
He already has one.

His will for my life isn’t floating out there in the future like a scavenger hunt prize.
Much of it is already revealed. Already written. Already available through His Word and His Spirit.

“He’s already set it out for all of us.”

But we keep showing up with our list, like:

• God, I need a car
• I need more money
• I need a spouse
• I need You to make this dream happen

And yet…

What if He’s Waiting on Us?

What if we’re down here begging for answers when He’s already told us what to do?

Things like:

• Forgive that person
• Serve someone else
• Open your Bible
• Walk in integrity
• Stay when it’s hard
• Follow when it’s scary

I am very guilty of this.

I want clarity for my next step, while ignoring the last one He already gave me.

The Problem with Our Will

Our will is often packed with things we want God to do for us.
Even the layout of our dream house.
Even the exact timing of our breakthrough.

We come to Him with a blueprint and say:

“Here, God. Bless this. Build this. Fund this.”

But we weren’t called to draft our own plans and ask God to sign off.
We were called to lay ourselves down and pick up His cross.

So What Do We Do?

We stop asking God to align with us.

Instead, we get up onto His plan.
We align ourselves with Him.

“What we need to do is align ourselves with God and not get derailed.”

That’s it.

And if we do that, we’ll realize:
His will was never hidden.
We were just too busy chasing our own.

Let’s Get Real

It’s time we stop praying for God to do our will.
And start praying for the courage to do His.

Because the Rock doesn’t move.
But we can.
