I acknowledge Thy claim to have Thy will alone done, and am
here for it to do with me as Thou pleasest. With my whole heart I enter
into it, to be one with it for ever. Thy Holy Spirit can maintain this
oneness without interruption. I trust Thee, my Father, step by step, to
let the light of Thy will shine in my heart and on my path, through that
Spirit.

May this be the holiness in which I live, that I forget and lose self in
pleasing and honouring Thee. Amen.

1. Make it a study, in meditation and prayer and worship, to get a
full impression of the Majesty, the Perfection, the Glory of
the Will of God, with the privilege and possibility of living
in it.

2. Study it, too, as the expression of an infinite Love and
Fatherliness; its every manifestation full of loving-kindness.
Every providence is _God's will_; whatever happens, meet God in
it in humble worship. Every precept is _God's will_; meet God
in it with loving obedience. Every promise is _God's will_;
meet God in it with full trust. A life in the will of God is
rest and strength and blessing.

3. And forget not, above all, to believe in its Omnipotent Power.
_He worketh all things after the counsel of His will._ In
nature and those who resist Him, without their consent. In His
children, according to their faith, and as far as they will it.
Do believe that the will of God will work out its counsel in
you, as you trust it to do so.

4. This will is Infinite Benevolence and Beneficence revealed in
the self-sacrifice of Jesus. Live for others: so can you become
an instrument for the Divine will to use (Matt. xviii. 14; John
vi. 39, 40). Yield yourselves to this redeeming will of God,
that it may get full possession, and work out through you too
its saving purpose.

5. Christ is just the embodiment of God's will: He is, God's will
done. Abide in Him, by abiding in, by doing heartily and
always, the will of God. A Christian is, like Christ, a man
given up to the Will of God.
