Today's thought from the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
G.O.D. = Good Orderly Direction
-- Anonymous
When we decided to turn our will and lives over to the care of God, as we understood Him, we made a declaration of independence. We declared our freedom from the chains of our self-centered ego and the unrelenting demands of our self-will. When we decided that God was God and we were not, we began to receive the wonderful future that had been planned for us.
That decision was our claim to a new life. The prison that was our home has been destroyed. We decide to let go and let God on a daily basis. Our wills are always free to decide. We must decide to keep ourselves conscious at all times and listen to the voices that speak to us. We must decide to guard against our ego once again begging to run the show.
My will power will only be helpful to me when it is acting in accordance with my decision to let my Higher Power instruct me in the way to go.
