Change is often hard for me. I’m sure I’m not alone there.
When I find that what worked for me before no longer does, I need to change. That is very uncomfortable.
I need to be willing to change and endure being uncomfortable.
Asking for God’s Comfort and Guidance will help me to change.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
God is Loving and Compassionate.
He reveals Himself to me through the Blessings He bestows upon me and upon others.
I can only see God when my heart and my mind are open to Him.
When I am self-involved, I only see what I want to see.
It is only when I seek God can I see what He wants me to see.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Sometimes when things are going well in my life, I think to myself that I deserve it.
Then, when things get a little rough in my life, I ask why God is punishing me.
If I haven’t noticed by now that life has ups and downs, I wasn’t paying attention.
When things are going well, that’s when I need to try to do better. That’s when I need to try to get closer to God.
When things start to get a little rough, I had better have Him nearby already.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Getting sober does not take intelligence, drive, inspiration, or wisdom.
Getting sober takes desperation, humility, willingness, and surrender.
To live sober, I must keep these in mind.
My pride and my ego want me to think that “I” got myself sober.
God saved my tortured soul. I owe everything to God.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
“Would-a”, “Could-a”, “Should-a”…
My life’s choices have brought me to where I am right now. It’s my destiny.
I am right where I am supposed to be, whether I like it or not.
I had better get used to liking my life because it’s the only one I’ve got. Every day is a chance for me to appreciate my life a little bit more.
God, thank You for carrying me, for giving me this life, for bringing me here. Please help me to make the best use of today to serve you and others.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
“Just one more. It’s ok.”
I can’t count how many times I said that when I was using and drinking. I was addicted to “more”. Even when I knew I shouldn’t, I couldn’t help it.
Now I realize that “Just one more” will free the beast within me that wants me to suffer and die.
Now I depend upon God instead. Sometimes the only thing between me and my next drink is God.
Now, all I want is one more day.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Everything I do, God sees.
That includes everything.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
It seems that the world is pretty disturbed. It’s hard to not notice. It’s hard to not let it affect me.
I need to remember that everyone is going through something. Some have it tougher than others.
I can either be part of the problem or part of the solution. I need to treat others today with a little more kindness.
God, please bring comfort to the sick, the hungry, the lonely, the desperate, and the grieving.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
I cannot carry around worry about tomorrow, it will get here soon enough.
Worry interferes with my ability to clearly see my purpose for today.
If I take care of today, tomorrow will take care of itself – tomorrow.
God, please stay close to me today and help me to stay close to you.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
Sometimes I get frustrated with God when things take too long to materialize for me.
Sometimes I get frustrated with God when things happen too soon for me.
I’m easily pleased when things go “my way”.
It’s plain to see that I get frustrated when my will does not align with God’s Will.
God is not the one with the problem. I am.
Accepting God’s Will, whether I like or not, is the key to my peace and serenity.
I don’t need to understand God’s Will. I just need to accept it.
God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.
