my daily reflections…

prayer and meditation are how i get to ask and receive what my HPs guidance/will may be for me on any given day or at any given moment. experience has given me the wisdom to conduct prayer and meditation whenever i am faced with a difficult situation which may baffle me. often times it means that i just sit still and keep my mouth shut remainin open to whatever change or occurrence may be happenin. fear and worry keep me down. and through the fear and worry, ego and false pride make me afraid to face people because of the fear of bein found out. they constantly keep me in hot water makin me a nervous wreck. i then begin to fear failure, the future, and all the batshit crazy perfervid things i can think up, it doesnt matter. recovery teaches me to surrender these fears and worries to my HP. when these wrong sets of ideas and attitudes come to me, i cannot remain open to change unless i surrender them to my HP and then go with the flow. when growin my spiritual awareness, i get to continue to grow my relationship with my HP by surrenderin my problems to Him. this is spiritual power in action. only through Him can i think, behave, or act through His spiritual intuition or grace. i alone cannot produce the proper, right action, based upon my own self-will that has a positive outcome that affects others and myself rightly. with acceptance i get to be used as a tool to accomplish the miracles He produces. when i bring my attention to the things i am grateful for in my life, my brain actually works better. i get to bring more joy for others and myself when i practice acceptance, surrender, and tolerance with gratitude. openin myself to the unlimited supply of love He provides me, i become even more open to goin with the flow. as i receive it i get to let it pass through me, givin it to others, so it can heal my heart, meet the needs of others and myself, and make my spirit sing. from all of this and much more i get to attain and sustain my recovery, listen to directions, accept and handle responsibility, and work with the permanency of change, fear, worry, and life brings me. even as a life of continuous recovery may be strenuous work, spiritual awareness, through prayer and meditation, helps me continue to go with the flow of life. 1 day @ a time...
