The Problem of the Will

The human problem is sometimes to know what the will of God is in this or that situation. This is a situation where no one option is more or less godly or another and where the Bible is silent or unclear.

At other times the problem is that God’s will is quite clear, whether through revelation or circumstances. This will may even be submitted to as a godly action. However, there may be a problem in graciously accepting it.

This is the problem of a disconnect between the mind that recognizes God’s will, the soul that submits to it but the will and emotions that do not like the will of God that is thus recognized and submitted to.

What is the remedy for this?
