Prayer for Procrastinators

Lord,
Help me with my prioritization.
Guide my thoughts and my hand as I break things down into tasks and lay out the order in which things need to get done.
Guide me toward what you think is best.
Bring me friends and family that will kindly push me in the right direction.
Unblock my thoughts and open my mind.
I ask that once I get started, you help me remain focused.
I know how easily I can be distracted by other things.
Amen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just a Thought

I have faith.

That thing that makes the world seem right. That thing that makes sense at last. That awareness of the Divine Principle in the universe which holds it all together and gives it unity and purpose and goodness and meaning. Life is no longer ashes in my mouth or bitter to the taste. It is all one glorious whole, because God is holding it together. Faith--that leap into the unknown, the venture into what lies beyond our ken, that which brings untold rewards of peace and serenity.

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

Have I faith?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just a Contemplation

Meditation

What does my heart have to say today? Am I happy ? Or I’m I troubled? We will find this out if we slow down and listen to our words. We can also hear our spirit in the tone of our words.

We are to meditate. Meditation is about slowing down so we can hear what our spirit is trying to tell us. Meditation is listening. Our spirit is but a quiet whisper inside us. To hear we must quiet ourselves.

Slowing down allows us to find our center. As we find our center we find our spirit and our Higher Power. Do I take the time needed to slow myself down? Do I take the time to listen---to listen to my heart?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Challenges

There is no easier, softer way.
To bring the great escape act into sobriety is to travel with a companion that led me to despair long ago. The teaching I receive in Alcoholics Anonymous about courage and love helps me to continue to grapple with the challenges of life as they are given to me, one day at a time.
