~~SPIRITUAL~~ A DAY AT A TIME

12/09 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
"Difficulties are God's errands, and when we are sent upon them, we should esteem it a proof of God's confidence."   Beecher
I've come to realize that my past troubles were really of my own making.  Although I hardly thought so at the time, I was a primary example of what The Program calls "self-will run riot."  Today, I'll accept my difficulties as signposts to growth, and as evidence of God's confidence in me.  DO I BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL NEVER GIVE ME MORE THAN I CAN HANDLE?

TODAY I PRAY
May I believe strongly that God has confidence in me to handle my troubles, that the difficulties I must face are in direct proportion to my strength and ability to bear up and keep a cool head in a crisis.  May I also understand that it is my faith in God which keeps me from crumbling.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God has faith in me, because I have faith in God.
