The answer: both yes and no.
God's will is the same as collective human will: what actually happens is God's will, in terms of the history of what humans do to each other.
And God's will is separate from human will: what actually happens in nature is God's will, aside from what humans do to each other -- disasters like earthquakes and typhoons.
All of which has brought bad press for God.

First you must distinguish between soul and mind. While in the physical body on the physical plane, we have a mind with passions. God does not. The passions of the mind are what separate us from God. God's will is separate from our will in that respect. When soul transcends the physical body and the true self is discovered (following purification), our wills meet His and we become one with God. (After all, we are created in His image.)

Our will will not always be the sames as God's. Sometimes we want different things for our lives, but God sees the bigger picture, and knows what is best. The more we come to know God and liken ourselves to Him, the more our will will begin to align with his.

God's will cannot be the same as everyone else's will as everyboy's will is different. Therefor it is safe to say he has his own will. Unless your will is to follow his will then you would have the same will.
Hopefully you followed that there were a lot of wills in there.

Do they say, 'He has forged a lie against Allah?' If Allah had so willed, He could seal thy heart. But Allah blots out falsehood through thee and establishes the truth by His words. Surely, He knows quite well what is in the breasts.
And everyone has a goal to which he turns his whole attention. Then vie with one another in good works. Wherever you may be, Allah will bring you all together. Surely, Allah has the power to do all that He wills.
To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth; and whether you disclose what is in your minds or keep it hidden, Allah will call you to account for it, then will He forgive whomsoever He pleases, and punish whomsoever He pleases; and Allah has the power to do all that He wills.

God's will, very definitely is not our will. In Isaiah He says. "For My ways are not your ways, neither are My thoughts your thoughts, for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are not your ways." His desire is that we will align our will with His will and seek to live in harmony with His will. The way we do this is by realizing our sinfulness, repenting of that sinfulness and ask Christ to forgive our sins and come into our life and live His life through us. Also, you must understand that Jesus' death on the cross was to pay the penalty for each of our sins-that's why He died. Thank Him for His incredible love for you. queenmother8386@yahoo.com

separate. We want what we want. But god put you here for a purpose and that will will be done. We get selfish sometimes in our prayers and people say he didn't answer my prayer but he may have. Maybe he didn't answer it the way you wanted but he answered it for your own good.

If our will is for the Glory of God, then His will is the same with us.
But, definitely, God's will is very different from our will, WHY? - our will is mostly for ourselves only... God wants us to be for Him and for others also...

Human will and god will do not measure up and is not the same.
