Wed. For Today

November 23rd, You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance. Kahil Gibran With the accumulation of days, months and years of abstinence, it is easy to forget the pain of compulsive overeating. The expression of gratitude for blessings received keeps alive the awareness of who I am and where I came from. When practiced daily, prayer and meditation become a channel through which consciousness of the presence of God in my life is heightened. This consciousness not only comforts me in times of stress and trouble, but it gives new dimensions of peace and contentment to the joy and freedom of recovery. For today: Prayer can be only "Thank you" - which is as appropriate in my need and distress as it is in my abundance and joy.
