Mary Wilder Tileston preaches about the importance of surrendering to
God's will, emphasizing the need to trust in the Lord's plans even when
they may not align with our own desires. She encourages the congregation
to make God's will their own, finding peace and contentment in
submitting to His divine purpose. Through examples of various life

virtue of accepting God's will with grace and humility.

The Lord do that which seemeth Him good.

2 SAMUEL 10:12

THE best will is our Father's will,

And we may rest there calm and still;

Oh! make it hour by hour thine own,

And wish for nought but that alone

Which pleases God.

PAUL GERHARDT

"THY will be done." For instance, when you wish, and by every means
endeavor, to be well, and yet remain ill,--then say, "Thy will be done."
When you undertake something, and your undertaking does not succeed,
say, "Thy will be done." When you do good to others, and they repay you
with evil, say, "Thy will be done." Or when you would like to sleep, and
are overtaken by sleeplessness, say, "Thy will be done." In general, do
not become irritated when anything is not done in accordance with your
will, but learn to submit in everything to the Will of the Heavenly
Father.

FATHER JOHN

Try to make an instantaneous act of conformity to God's Will, at
everything which vexes you.
