Wisdom for Today
In his song, the singer Eli writes, “God weeps too.” Sometimes our experiences along the path of recovery bring us to a place where we find ourselves filled with grief and despair. Tears may well up inside of us or may flow freely. At times like this it is helpful to know that we are not alone. God may cry with us, or for us, or even because of us, but He is always there with us. Do I believe that I am not alone? Do I trust that God will give me strength at the times I need it most?

When I find myself filled with despair, loneliness, or grief I can be assured that someone in the Program will listen, comfort, and guide me to a place of acceptance. I believe that God puts these people in our lives because He cares for us. Do I believe that God cares for me?
Meditations for the Heart
Sometimes I want to cry because of the things I have done. At other times I want to cry because of what has been done to me. Regardless of the reason, I have learned that the sadness, loss, or self-disgust that I experience is only temporary. Each day that I use the steps and each day that I follow the principles of the Program brings healing. It is not a cure, but it is healing. Can I trust and believe that God wants to bring healing into my life?
Petitions to my Higher Power
God,

Walk with me this day and help me to know and trust that you will provide for me everything I need. I know I can never have everything I want in this life, but you continue to show me that I can have every thing I need. For this I am grateful today.

Amen
