Sri Amma Bhagavan:
We can expound this teaching at different levels. We will see one perspective only right now.
God's will is the Divine Will. What we see is the Divine Will. All things are happening automatically. Sun is rising in the east, seasons are coming, earth is revolving round the sun, you are waking up in the morning, you are getting hunger, thinking is happening etc. Therefore, what is happening is the Divine Will.
God has gifted man with the Free Will. Which means, man has the power to think whatever he wants, speak whatever he wants and can do whatever he wants to do. That is how one can design one's life. Throw flowers, flowers will fall on you; throw stones, stones will fall on you. Thus you are the creator of your own destiny. But, you are full of hurts, ego, jealousy, anger, hatred, traumas etc. hence your thoughts, words and actions result in such decisions leading to a particular kind of life.
On the other hand, you surrender to the Divine Will. The Divine shall take over. In which case you are not there. Meaning only the Divine exists. The Divine can never fail. Cleansing or non-cleansing is a part of the process which one is least bothered because the problem is no more his/hers. It is the Lord's problem. If you are still worried, it means, you have not surrendered yet.
Remember, surrender is not leaving it or indifference. Surrender is becoming helpless when you truly feel and realize that you can't do, or you do not know etc. and then seek and depend on the Divine.
However, true surrender happens when one is Awakened. But here we are talking at a mundane level.
Let us now recollect one of the Great Mahavakyas given by Sri Amma Bhagavan, "When your will and My Will have become one, then My Kingdom would have come".
