A Prayer & Some Thoughts - June
June 1
Feeling Fearful Prayer Lord, I am feeling fearful right now, I need your comfort and assurance. Take away my fears and replace them with your peace. Give me your comfort and assurance. Help me to not lose heart but renew my spirit each day. Thank you for not giving me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. Amen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Thought We are so glad to be free from alcohol that we do something about it. We get into action. We come to meetings regularly. We go out and try to help other alcoholics. We pass on the good news whenever we get a chance. In a spirit of thankfulness to God, we get into action. The A.A. program is simple. Submit yourself to God, find release from alcohol, and get into action. Do these things and keep doing them and you're all set for the rest of your life. So ............ Have I got into action? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Contemplation Suffering Knowing that others have survived experiences equally devastating as ours, gives us hope, but it doesn't diminish our own personal suffering. Nor should it; out of suffering comes new understanding. Suffering also encourages our appreciation of the lighter, easier times. Pain experienced fully enhances the times of pleasure. Our sufferings are singular, individual, and lonely. But our experiences with it can be shared; thereby lessening the power they have over us. Sharing our pain with another person also helps them remember that their pain, too, is survivable. Suffering softens us, helps us to feel more compassion and love toward another. Our sense of belonging to the human race, our recognition of the interdependence and kinship of us all, are the most cherished results of the gift of pain. Each of our sufferings, sharing them as we do, strengthens me and heals my wounds of alienation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trouble There was a time when we ignored trouble, hoping it would go away. Or, in fear and depression, we ran from it, but found it was still with us. Often, full of unreason, bitterness, and blame, we fought back. These mistaken attitudes, powered by alcohol, guaranteed our destruction, unless they were altered. Then came AA. Surprisingly, we found that our troubles could, under God's grace, be converted into unimaginable blessings. As Bill Sees It Page 110 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Few Quotes “Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out.” ~ Karl Augustus Menninger “We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.” ~ Seneca
