Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Prayer
Who comes from prayer a better man, his prayer is answered. — George Meredith
We learn that prayer is only a wish away. When we wished for recovery more than anything in the world, we found it. Thus our wishes became our prayers. It was that simple.
We discover in recovery that prayer is best when it is a conversation with a Higher Power. It isn’t just a one-way speech where we tell God what we expect to have happen. It isn’t a time to try to bargain with God. We listen as well as ask. Then meditation joins with prayer.
When life beats us to our knees, our only recourse is to stay on our knees and start praying.
When my prayers aren’t answered right away, that doesn’t mean that God is denying them. The answers will come in God’s time, not mine. The answers will be God’s answers, not mine.
