What Is Divine Timing and How Does It Work? [Simple Guide]

Have you ever wondered why something happens at a specific time in your life? If you have, this article is about to help you understand why certain things happen when they do. Divine timing is a force that propels events in life to happen at the right moment—and for an underlying reason. If you are curious as to how this force works and what the rules that govern it are, continue reading.

What Is Divine Timing and How Does It Work?

Divine timing is the belief that everything occurs exactly when it is supposed to. By accepting this thought, we have to accept that everything that happens in our lives, from the most ordinary, mundane events to the biggest, most drastic changes that occur—everything is controlled by something that is more powerful than all actions we can undertake to gain control of our lives.

As humans, we yearn to control things; Although we want to be in charge of every little aspect of our lives, absolute control is impossible. Despite our efforts, something will always elude our grasp and assume its own flow. Not being able to assume dominance over certain moments or choices can be a frustrating experience that often leads to disappointment and worry.

As a divine creature, you need to accept the fact that not everything is up to you; As soon as you accept and learn to trust the timing of your life, you will release yourself from stress and anxiety that comes with the need to have absolute power. Even though it may seem unclear why something is happening, or something that you have waited for still hasn’t happened, you need to remember that every good thing takes time, meaning the right moment has yet to come.

The Rules of Divine Timing

Despite the seemingly random nature of divine workings, there are certain rules that have to be followed if you have decided to accept this outer force in your life. If you’ve found yourself in a situation when you have waited or strived toward something, only to get it when you finally gave up on it—that is the universe giving you what you need when you are ready for it, and not one moment sooner. Guide yourself by these rules and trust the universe to do the rest for you.

Learn to be patient

Patience is one of the hardest virtues to obtain, let alone keep. It requires immense self-control and dedication to achieve a state of calm expectancy, which you can practice with an Intuition lamp. Once you manage to gain patience, you will be able to see why certain things take a long time to happen. If you are wondering why you have been waiting for so long for a promotion you are confident you deserve, for example, you will soon see that the universe might be keeping some better in store for you.

Trust in perfect timing

Trusting the universe with choosing the timing for everything that is supposed to happen is not an easy feat, as it requires a leap of faith on your side. All events in our lives are supposed to occur at a predetermined point in time, and rushing these events won’t help, nor can they be escaped from. Sometimes, for example,  we might believe we are supposed to stay single for a certain amount of time after a break-up. It might just happen that a week later, though, that we meet a person that we feel an inexplicably strong bond with, possibly a twin flame reunion. These are simply the way Divine timing and twin flames work sometimes.

Don’t try to force things

When you force others into being there for you, the only thing you can expect is a disappointment. It is well-known that you can’t force people to love you; When you try to do so, you usually end up heartbroken. It is the sad outcome of too many relationships: one partner persistently trying to force things on the other. These relationships are never successful and are difficult for everyone involved. You have to wait for the right timing, and relationships that are meant for you will happen.

Don’t attach yourself to an outcome

When you embark on a new journey, try not to be too eager to reach the end. Don’t focus on what you want the final outcome to be; Just enjoy whatever is happening in the present and have faith that the rest will work itself out. This is a very difficult rule to follow, especially when it comes to romantic relationships. Whenever we meet someone new, we always imagine falling in love with them and spending the rest of our lives together—the opposite of what we are supposed to do. If two people are destined to be together, the universe will make it work when they are ready for it.

Key Takeaways

Fate vs. Free Will: How Do They Relate to Divine Timing?

In order to understand how events in our lives are organized and predetermined, we also need to consider fate and free will.

• Free will only extends as far as our own actions—and reactions—to events happening around us.
• Fate is what determines the events that will inevitably happen to us. There is nothing we can do to change the course of these events or prevent them from happening.

Fate and free will do not exist independently of each other, and although they might seem like conflicting concepts, there are many moments influenced by universal timing when we can observe both at work. Through exercising our free will, we can follow our desires with the hope of fulfillment. The universe aims to do the same—fulfill our desires. The only difference is the pace the universe is moving in in order to achieve excitement at the perfect time.

Conclusion

The divine forces that govern our existence have to be embraced in order to allow them to have a maximum effect on our lives. The only things you need to do are trust the timing of your life, let go of any worries, embrace that change is a part of life, and wait patiently for things that are inevitably to come.
