~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
05/07 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
If I believe that it's hopeless to expect any improvement in my life, I'm doubting the power of God. If I believe I have reason for despair, I'm confessing personal failure, for I do have the power to change myself; nothing can prevent it but my own unwillingness. I can learn in The Program to avail myself of the immense, unexhaustible power of God -- if I'm willing to be continually aware of God's nearness. DO I STILL IMAGINE THAT MY SATISFACTION WITH LIFE DEPENDS ON WHAT SOMEONE ELSE MAY DO?
TODAY I PRAY
May I give over my life to the will of God, not to the whims and insensitivities of others. When I counted solely on what other people did and thought and felt for my own happiness, I became nothing more than a cheap mirror reflecting others' lives. May I remain close to God in all things. I value myself because He values me. May I have my being in his Being and be dependent only upon Him.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Stay close to God.
