God's sovereign will and god's prescriptive will are theological terms.
A medical illustration explains them: A doctor's prescription is an expression of his prescriptive will. You may get and take the pills or you may not. In a hospital you are subject to the doctor's sovereign will. His minions will make sure that you take the pills.
The man of faith trusts God's sovereign will and is at peace.
The man of works worries about God's prescriptive will and has no rest.
