God is Willing by Charlene Murray is a Christian analysis that explores divine operations and humanity's connection, employing God's wisdom as a guide through difficulty and as a source of joy. Murray discusses divine anger, advocating discernment to avoid harmful relationships and bitterness. She emphasizes patience and preparation in relationships and argues that divine rewards stem from knowledge, obedience, and a personal connection, offering strength. Trusting in God's wisdom prevents hasty decisions and the Bible serves as a compass. The significance of earthly laws and divine direction is stressed, along with the potency of forgiveness, and the metaphor of the "House within Your Heart and Mind" signifies positive change. Among many other things, Murray emphasizes God's discipline as being rooted in love to prevent undue calamity.

In God is Willing, Charlene Murray presents a variety of concepts and analyses that grounds the work in extensive scriptural references, using specific passages to substantiate her claims. For instance, Murray cites relevant verses to support the notion that thoughts and feelings are spirits and highlights the role of angels in sending thoughts to mankind. Murray writes cohesively and is straightforward enough not to confuse any level of reader, and without patronizing those who might be familiar with some of the content. What I loved is Murray's practical application of Christian principles. She advises on areas like handling difficult situations with wisdom and discernment, and aligns this practical advice with Proverbs 3:6, "In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths," emphasizing reliance on God's wisdom in decision-making. Decision-making is sometimes easier, such as picking God is Willing up and giving it an afternoon of your time. It's well worth it. Very highly recommended.
