Jesus said: “Father, not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42

God, your Father in heaven, might lead you along difficult paths you do not like. The time has come for you to learn a lesson: Want only what He wants. Whoever has learnt this lesson, whoever can wholeheartedly accept the will of God in every situation, has learnt something which will fill his life with peace and joy. Even during the most difficult leadings he will be happy and at peace, for he is resting in the will that is always best. Start practising with the smaller issues in life and pray, “Your will be done.” (Matthew 6:10) Then you will be able to rest in God’s will in times of hardship and be victorious.
