All Will Be Given
There is nothing we don't already have. All that we need shall be given. It must be this way, for otherwise there is fear, and fear is not a state of being that is reflective of truth. What then prevents God's Will from occurring? Fear-based motivation—the rush to get what we want in fear it will be gone, to demand what we need in fear that others won't give it, to feel frozen in fear and not do anything. In all these ways, God's will does not unfold naturally. When our Wounded Self rushes or demands, the outcome of getting what we want or need may result, but the effects upon ourselves and others are detrimental. We are not filled with love and trust, but fear. Scarcity is reinforced, pain and strife added. The satisfaction of having gotten what we want or need is robbed of us and replaced by guilt, shame, remorse, anxiety, depression, loneliness.
If we don't let God's will unfold naturally we'll never know and experience being truly cared for. To let go and trust our needs will be met does not mean to not take action, but that fear is not in the getting and asking. So we move without rush and ask without worry. “Will what we want still be there if we don't rush?” “Will they hear us if we don't demand?” These are the worries of our Wounded Self, who acts on behalf of our Wounded Child, who was taught that the world cannot be trusted.
To feel the loss or pain of a want or need not being met does not mean it won't be met, but just not when we want it. It is the story we make up that feels unbearable. It may not, however, be the end of the story. As children, pain feels like forever; there is only now and if not now, never. This drives our Wounded Self to acquire what we want or need with high-stakes determination, to avoid forever-pain. The child back then didn’t know of God’s care. He only knew parents or a world that withheld his wants or needs from him. So we can have understanding and compassion for our Wounded Self and Wounded Child. We can see why they believe, and fear, and act as they do. Of course. But we as adults, aware of these inner stories and fears and with awareness of God and God's love, can learn to live and act differently and see whether faith and trust will yield what we long for.
