All Will Be Given
There is nothing we don't already have. All that we need will be given. It must be this way, for it is 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 or to demand what we need in fear others won't give it. In 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 was taught that the world cannot be trusted.
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. The child back then didn’t know of God’s care. They only knew parents or a world that withheld their wants or needs from them. So we can have understanding and compassion for our Wounded Self. 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. To feel the loss or pain of a want or need not being met does not mean it won't be met, but perhaps just not when we want it. We can learn to feel our Wounded Self’s pain or sense of loss and reassure them through our presence that we care for them and that God cares for us. In that place, fear subsides and our Wounded Self’s story along with it. We can then be more open to receive whatever God will give us, having faith that our needs will be met.
