Grammar
but rather in a sentence with two quotes
Hi - is this where I can ask a question? If so mine concerns the punctuation within the following sentence:
Not by, “this is the way it went, so this must be God’s Will” but rather “God told Me to do this in this manner, Amen.”
Do I need any punctuation either before the but rather or after it?
Thank you for your help, Chris

- Hi, Chris.
- Yes.
- Yours is not a complete sentence, so it is difficult to judge absolutely, but it's easy to clog an utterance up with punctuation.

Yours is not a complete sentence, so it is difficult to judge absolutely, but it's easy to clog an utterance up with punctuation. I suggest this:
Not by “This is the way it went, so this must be ***’s will” but rather “*** told me to do this in this manner
