How to Discover What is the Will of God: Trusting in His Infinite Providence

 

Life often presents us with moments that feel overwhelming—unfortunate events, losses, and trials that shake our faith and leave us questioning the goodness of God’s plan. Yet, it is precisely in these moments that the will of God is revealed to us, offering infinite treasure and boundless grace. This truth is both challenging and liberating, and learning to trust in God’s providence can transform even the darkest times into opportunities for spiritual growth and profound peace.

Infinite Value in Every Moment

The divine action places before us, in every moment, things of infinite value. If we can learn to see the will of God in all circumstances, even the difficult ones, we will discover a source of grace that exceeds all understanding. God’s will is perfect, eternal, and unchanging. It is like an endless ocean, vast and inexhaustible, ready to fill us with everything we need—if only we approach it with faith, confidence, and love.

When we encounter pain or misfortune, our natural response may be fear, doubt, or resistance. But these moments hold immense spiritual treasures, far greater than our limited human perspectives can comprehend. By embracing the present moment as an expression of God’s will, we open our hearts to receive the fullness of His grace.

Faith, Confidence, and Love: The Keys to God’s Will

To discover God’s will, we must expand our capacity for faith, confidence, and love. Faith allows us to trust in His goodness even when circumstances seem bleak. Confidence assures us that He is in control, working all things for our ultimate good. Love deepens our relationship with Him, enabling us to desire His will above all else.

It’s not easy to surrender our plans and desires, especially when life feels unpredictable. I recall a time when my family was burdened by financial struggles and unexpected trials. I questioned God’s presence and wondered how He could allow such difficulties. Yet, through prayer and reflection, I came to see these moments as opportunities to rely completely on Him. By placing my trust in His providence, I experienced a peace that surpassed understanding and saw His faithfulness in ways I never could have imagined.

An Abyss of Grace

God’s will is a deep abyss, infinitely larger than our greatest desires or fears. When we plunge into this abyss with trust, we find it overflowing with blessings. This does not mean our problems disappear, but it means we gain the strength to face them, the peace to endure them, and the grace to grow through them.

The senses, focused on worldly pleasures and comforts, may rebel against this surrender. They may grieve the loss of control or the absence of tangible rewards. But faith triumphs, pointing us to the eternal reality of God’s love and purpose. When we abandon ourselves to His will, He gives Himself to us fully, sustaining and strengthening us in every trial.

A Call to Trust

If you are struggling to trust in God’s providence today, remember that His will is always for your good. The trials you face, though painful, are opportunities to draw closer to Him and to discover the treasures hidden within the present moment. Trust in His love, surrender your fears, and allow His grace to carry you.

Let us together make a prayerful commitment to embrace God’s will in all things. Adore His divine plan, trust in His infinite goodness, and find peace in knowing that He is with us every step of the way.

"Faith laughs at calamities, for the will of God is indestructible." Let this truth inspire you to abandon yourself to His providence and to live each moment as a child of God, confident in His care and love.

Let’s journey together in faith and discover the boundless joy of trusting God’s will. 🙏✨

Everything Is Supernaturalized by the Divine Action

The Power of Surrendering to God’s Will in Everyday Life In Abandonment to Divine Providence , Jean-Pierre de Caussade beautifully emphasizes how every aspect of our life can be supernaturalized by the divine action. He reminds us that God’s grace is present in all things, and that our spiritual journey is not about seeking extraordinary experiences or methods but embracing the simplicity of surrendering to God’s will. This concept resonated deeply with me, particularly as a homeschooling mother, constantly balancing family duties and personal devotion. There was a time when I was anxiously trying to figure out how to deepen my spiritual life while managing my daily tasks. I thought that holiness required grand gestures or extraordinary moments of divine intervention. But then I realized, as de Caussade puts it, that holiness is found in the simple things – even in folding laundry or preparing meals for my children. The Quiet Call of the Divine Will We often fail to recognize that God ...

Submission: A Free Gift to God

  In our journey of faith, the concept of abandonment—a complete surrender to God’s will—can be daunting yet profoundly liberating.

It was during this period that I realized I had to let go o...

The Happiness and Peace of Abandonment to God

There is a deep and unshakable peace that comes from abandoning oneself entirely to God. In a world filled with uncertainty, struggles, and suffering, many of us seek security and control, only to find ourselves restless and anxious. But what if the greatest peace is found not in grasping for control, but in surrendering everything to the One who holds all things in His hands? In his letter to Sister Elizabeth Bourcier de Monthureux, Fr. Jean-Pierre de Caussade beautifully expresses the power of complete abandonment to God’s will. He reminds us that true perfection and lasting peace come from aligning our will with God’s, trusting that He is leading us even through the storms of life. The more we let go of our own desires, fears, and anxieties, the more we are able to rest in the profound joy and security of knowing that God is our sole support, help, and hope. The Transforming Power of Abandonment It is easy to fear the idea of giving up control. We often believe that if we do not cli...
