**SPIRITUAL** A DAY AT A TIME.
05/04
REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Many people pray as though to overcome the will of a relunctant God, instead of taking hold of the willingness of a loving God. In the late stages of our addiction, the will to resist has fled. Yet when we admit complete defeat, and when we become entirely ready to try the priniciples of The Program, our obsession leaves us and we enter a new dimension -- freedom under God as we understand Him. IS MY GROWTH IN THE PROGRAM CONVINCING ME THAT GOD ALONE CAN REMOVE OBSESSIONS?
TODAY I PRAY
May I pray not as a complaining child to a stern father, as though "praying" must always mean "pleading," usually in moments of helpless desperation. May I pray, instead, for my own willingness to reach out to Him, since He is ready at all times to reach out to me. May I regard my Higher Power as a willing God.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
God is willing.
===============================
...and today I am Grateful..
That I opened my heart to have a relationship with God again. He was always there. But it took me to be an alcoholic and recovery to find Him again.. what a blessing. I guess being a recovering alcoholic isn't such a bad thing.
Funny.. but lately I feel as if something AMAZING is instore for me. I've shared that feeling with others.. and want to share it here. And I don't think that *a miracle* is going to happen or that I've had the *laying of hands on me*. I BELIEVE that I feel that way.. because I've planted the seed in my mind.. and I'm nurturing it everyday. and it's true.. something AMAZING is instore for me. How about you..?? do you believe that something AMAZING is going to happen for you?
