“But it still seems misleading since it suggests that you can win the lottery by wishing for it.”

Not by wishing for it—that’s not what Walsch wrote down.

“He says ‘wanting it badly enough.’”

But don’t you see?  That’s not what your soul wants.  If it did, per impossibile, it would win it.  But it doesn’t, because your soul has no true desire for such things.

“But, Lord, don’t You see how misleading the statement is?  It certainly will be read as wish-fulfillment.”

Then it’s a mistake.  That is not what I meant.  People want God’s will to conform to theirs.  Others try to conform their will to God’s.  But, at root, the two are the same.  The goal is to get to the point that you surface your true will, which will coincide with God’s.  Remember that I want what is good for you.  I do not have some arbitrary plan and then demand obedience to it.  I want nothing other than your fulfillment.  That is what you want too.
