A Prayer & Some Thoughts - April
April 1
Give Me Strength Prayer Lord, today is rough. There’s too much clouding my mind, too much to face, and I can already feel the meltdown brewing inside. I don’t have enough patience—with myself or anyone else—to make it through the morning, let alone the day. Would you meet me here and give me yours? Would you lift me up and carry me out of my room? Would you walk me through my day? Thank you for never being tired or drained. Thank you for having the power to renew my patience and my strength. Amen ~ Jill St. John ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Thought We should be free from alcohol for good. It's out of our hands and in the hands of God, so we don't need to worry about it or even think about it any more. But if we haven't done this honestly and fully, the chances are that it will become our problem again. Since we don't trust God to take care of the problem for us, we reach out and take the problem back to ourselves. Then it's our problem again and we're in the same old mess we were in before. We're helpless again and we drink. So ............ Do I trust God to take care of the problem for me? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Contemplation Difficulties All difficult times in our lives come to an end. And no matter the depth of our disturbance, we will survive. We forget that the depths teach us how to better appreciate the heights. Sorrow heightens joy. Depression heightens laughter. We wouldn't know the joys and laughter were it not for the sorrows. In them we learn to be patient, waiting for the wisdom which will light our way. In them we learn to listen for the guidance that beckons us forth.b We must reflect on the troubling experiences we've passed through of late. They did make us wiser; they gave us strength. Difficulties often precede enlightenment. They pull us inward, perhaps push us to search for our connectedness to God, a connectedness that is at home in our hearts. The paradox is that these painful periods strengthen our oneness with the Spirit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Coping With Anger Few people have been more victimized by resentments than have we alcoholics. A burst of temper could spoil a day, and a well-nursed grudge could make us miserably ineffective. Nor were we ever skillful in separating justified from unjustified anger. As we saw it, our wrath was always justified. Anger, that occasional luxury of more balanced people, could keep us on an emotional jag indefinitely. These "dry benders' often led straight to the bottle. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions Page 90 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Quote "You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it." ~ Margaret Thatcher
