There are some days where I have to pop a few "Thy will me done"'s alongside some Serenity's to navigate through my mental and emotional gymnastics. It's when I am clearly trying to run the show, or trying to shape the universe to mold to my expectations. Cars in front of me aren't going as fast as I would like, or someone isn't doing what I think they should be doing, or the kids are getting out of hand...all these things are places where my character defects like to jump on me and attempt to control the situations. "Thy will be done" reminds me I am not in charge. I let things flow as they need to be, and for me to practice spiritual principles - patience, tolerance, forgiveness, honesty, etc. And it is in that new head and heart space am I able to step back and let things go as they need.
