Default god's will be done versus living by intention

thanks for your comment, mercury rising!...
what I'm trying to get at is that there is a fundamental difference in trying to tune into the will of the universe & follow that, as opposed to living intentionally - which, as I understand it, is to focus attention on your own will (impress your own will upon the universe)...

This brings up the question....does the universe, higher power, god, or whatever you want to call it, have a will? Many thinkers characterize it as a neutral wish granting machine - which implies the universe, in itself, does not have a will, so trying to follow "god's will" seems pointless. Still confused.....
