Desiring God’s Will, Aligning Our Hearts with the Heart of God by David G. Benner

Many people view God’s will as something to be discovered—a source of divine guidance when facing decisions. Yet often, the real issue isn’t that we lack clarity about what God wants for us, but that we resist doing what we already know He asks. So how can our hearts and wills be transformed, making us both willing and able to follow His calling?

In Desiring God’s Will, psychologist and spiritual director David G. Benner explores how Christian spirituality reshapes our desires and aligns our will with God’s purposes. He delves into why our longings often lead us astray and how we can realign our deepest intentions with God’s, learning to embrace what He desires for us. Benner reveals that true freedom, spiritual vitality, and abundant life come not from mere obedience but from a heart attuned to God’s will.

Ultimately, God seeks to transform not just our decisions but our very way of choosing. As our hearts align with His, we break free from self-centered living and step into the joy of His kingdom.
