When people show compassion towards others, there is a “ripple effect”. Those to whom compassion is shown don’t forget it. They tend to pass it on to others. So when God gives me the opportunity to show compassion towards one person, He is asking me to help change the world. It’s one of life’s greatest…

Experience is the best teacher. Sometimes those who screw-up the most become the smartest. Sometimes those who learn from the smartest don’t have to screw-up as much. God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.

By trusting God’s Plan for me, I don’t have to worry about how things will turn out. So why do I sometimes see fit to try to take the wheel and force my will upon situations where I have no control? Do I really think that God is steering in the wrong direction or do…

My old ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving will lead me to relapse. I need to attend to my spiritual condition each day in order to stay on the right path. I am never cured of my alcoholism. Like it or not, my soul needs daily maintenance. I must seek God daily. God, please…

After having spent many hours in church basements and parish halls, sitting on folding chairs, I have a pretty good idea what a miracle looks like. I have witnessed many miracles and have been the beneficiary of a few myself. I must have faith and leave the rest up to God. God, please help…
