Knowing God More Prayer


Dear Lord,
Sometimes I get so lost in my life and don’t know what to do.
During these times, I wish I knew you more.
Help me to grow closer to you and understand you.
I want to hear your voice and let you guide me on this road called life.
Please draw closer to me and surround me with people that will help me to know you personally.
Ignite a spark in my heart to have a personal relationship with you.
Amen

Just a Thought

A.A. is like a dike, holding back the ocean of alcohol.

If we take just one drink, it is like making a small hole in the dike and once such a hole has been made, the whole ocean of alcohol may rush in upon us. By practicing the A.A. principles we keep the dike strong and in repair. We spot any weakness or crack in that dike and make the necessary repairs before any damage is done. Outside the dike is the whole ocean of alcohol, waiting to engulf us again in despair.

So ............

Am I keeping the dike strong?

Just a Contemplation

Denial

Denial is a powerful tool. Never underestimate its ability to cloud your vision.

Be aware that, for many reasons, we have become experts at using this tool to make reality more tolerable. We have learned well how to stop the pain caused by reality - not by changing our circumstances, but by pretending our circumstances are something other than what they are.

Do not be too hard on yourself. While one part of you was busy creating a fantasy reality, the other part went to work on accepting the truth.
Now, it is time to find courage. Face the truth. Let it sink gently in.
When we can do that, we will be moved forward.

God, give me the courage and strength to see clearly.

Helping Others

We realize now that we were excessively self-centered, chiefly concerned about our feelings, our problems, other people's reactions to us, and our own past and future.
Therefore, trying to get into communication with and help other people is a recovery measure for us, because it helps take us out of ourselves. Trying to heal ourselves by helping others works, even when it is an insincere gesture.
Try it some time.
