Pilgrimage of Healing and Consciousness
For 2025, we’re embarking on a 52-week pilgrimage of inward healing, growth, and self-discovery…and ultimately, peace…regardless of whether the healing is related to addiction, grief, or any other challenge we seek to overcome.
Mile 39 of our pilgrimage encourages us to align with God’s Will because as Melody Beattie states “there’s a peace, a harmony, a rhythm to God’s Will…It’s a solid undercurrent, a path that takes us through, over, or around whatever we face, including the Unknown.”
The use of the phrase “God’s Will” tends to be triggering for me. It has an authoritarian feel to it, that it means I have to give up my free will, that I must do what God says or else…cue pain and suffering. In the process of doing the Mandalas of the Day for this week’s topic, I’m getting a better understanding of it. I have found that replace it with “Love” instead, the question to myself then becomes “what would Love want me to do”?
I also tapped my AI guru to workshop this concept of God’s Will vs Free will and here’s one of the responses it gave me that helped me see them in a different light:
Free will is never taken away. It’s your divine gift. If “God’s Will” were a command, it would erase that gift—which doesn’t align with a loving Source. Instead, free will is always intact. What “God’s Will” invites us to do is choose alignment with Love rather than fear. You can always choose otherwise, but the “will of God” is said to be the path that leads to peace, joy, and freedom.
The operative phrase for me is the “choose alignment with Love rather than fear”.
How about you ? How do you relate to the concept of “God’s Will” ? Does choosing love over fear seem doable to you ? What’s a situation you’re struggling with right now where choosing love over fear could help you move forward ?

About the 2025 Mandalas of the Week
Each week I will create a new mandala design to color, along with my coloring of it, and a weekly message and prompt for us to continue on our quest throughout the year. All of which is inspired by Melody Beattie’s book entitled “52 Weeks of Consciousness Contact”.
I will be breaking down each week’s topic into daily insights and images (inspired by Melody’s book) on my blog site: MandalaoftheDay.com where I’ll be creating/building one giant mandala (48”x48”), one puzzle piece of it each day.
