~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

09-08 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
We are told in The Program that no situation is hopeless.  At first, of course, we find this hard to believe.  The opposites -- hope and despair -- are human emotional attitudes.  It is we who are hopeless, not the condition of our lives.  When we give up hope and become depressed, it's because we're unable, for now, to believe in the possibility of a change for the better.  CAN I ACCEPT THIS:  "NOT EVERYTHING THAT IS FORCED CAN BE CHANGED; BUT NOTHING CAN BE CHANGED UNTIL IT IS FORCED..." ?

TODAY I PRAY
May I remember that, because I am human and can make choices, I am never "hopeless."  Only the situation I find myself in may seem hopeless, which may reduce me to a state of helpless depression as I see my choices being blocked off.  May I remember, too, that even when I see no solution, I can choose to ask God's help.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I can choose not to be hopeless.

It is good to have an end to journey towards; but it is the journey that matters in the end.  ~Ursula K. LeGuin
