To understand the relationship between your personal will and your Higher Power, think of yourself as a light bulb that carries 1 amp of current. When you access your higher will, however, you have access to not just one amp, but to 10, 100, 1,000—or any amount of current you want. Because you are tapping into the Source of all light and power, your supply is unlimited—and so is the light you can radiate to others.
But letting go of the ego is not easy. We want to do things our way, in our own time, with our own requirements. We want control. Yet in clinging to this limited frame of reference, we deny ourselves a much greater reality as well as an expanded potential for happiness, fulfillment and material abundance.
This is why great souls have always affirmed—”Not my will, but Thy will be done.” You must die to the ego so that you can be born to God. You die to the part so that you can be born to the whole. Ultimately, you can even overcome death itself. For when you learn to dwell in the Higher mind, you will experience the part of yourself that never dies.
Go into meditation and listen for the whisperings of that universal source. Allow them to guide you and to show you the way in all of your affairs. Let the universe to do its work through you. As you become a perfect channel for the Divine presence, you will affirm to that eternal part of yourself , “My will and the Divine will are one.”

“The blossom vanishes of itself as the fruit grows.
So will your lower self vanish as the Divine grows within you.”
