Back to the reminder:

Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. - 1 Thess 5, 16-18
God always provides the means for us to do what is His will for us.

I've professed this often.

I have experienced that God can provide the means for us to do what is His will for us even if we resist it. That is, if a course of action or decision is clearly to be ours, and we desire to follow that course, and yet the path that appears to lead to it is not one that we are willing or equipped to take, I have seen God bring it to be over my objections with regard to the path, because it was the only way to bring me to the course I was willing to accept, which was God's will for me. I have seen God provide me the means to do His will for me after crying out in frustrated resignation that I could not do it myself.

The Truth is greater than our limitations.

I believe this.
