The one he sent me today is worth sharing. (in my humble opinion...plus its my blog I can do what I want. tee hee!!)
In essence, we need to remember that God is always here. Just because things might not turn out the way "we" want them to, doesn't mean God hasn't answered our prayers. Doesn't He know best? You don't have to be in recovery to benefit from the gift I am sharing with you today. :O)
God Is Here
The Power, which restores us to sanity, is not something remote and abstract, which we must search for by reading books and performing great feats. Our Lord and Savior is with us constantly and is involved in the minute details of every day. We do not have to wait and work to become acceptable to God. God accepts us now, just as we are.
What gets in the way of our awareness of God is self. If we are narrowly focused on the concerns of ego and self-will, we ignore the presence of our Savior. Then we become weak and confused in our aloneness.
To be aware of the presence of God in our lives every day, all we need is the willingness to be open. We find that God is indeed "closer than breathing and nearer than hands and feet." What we may have spent years searching for or denying turns out to be the ground of our existence and the Power that sustains us every minute.
Increase my awareness of You, I pray.
