If I stopped drinking, why would I need to identify my character defects and have to ask God to remove them? Shouldn’t putting down the substances be enough? My character defects were developed and perfected by me, so that I could navigate the world in a way that seemed to work for me. They cause…

God will send an angel if I really need one. God decides who to send. God decides when to send them. I can’t be fussy about who God sends. I can’t be fussy about the message they bring. I just need to keep my eyes and heart open so that I don’t miss it. …

Sometimes life doesn’t go according to my plans. Sometimes it’s something small, like a flat tire. Sometimes it’s something big, like losing a job or a loved one. In any case, it’s not what happens that matters as much as how I respond to it. Everything happens for a reason. Every adversity comes bearing a…

Life gets simpler when I allow it. Trust God. Clean house. Help others. Everything else is just noise. God, please help me to be ok today. Thank You. Amen.

Every relationship comes with responsibilities, expectations, and rewards. The same things go with my relationship with God. It’s personal – just me and God. When I seek God daily, ask for His Help, try to do what He wants, and thank Him always, the rewards to me become obvious. The rewards are priceless. God,…
