The ingenuity of God is often startling. We think that we can see God’s will coming — and that it will be either A or B. Arriving, God’s will is often — as a friend of mine says — H, heliotrope, something that never would have occurred to you. It is for this reason that prayers for God’s will are best kept a daily and doable practice. This doesn’t eliminate surprises, but it does keep surprises a little more to the minimum.
