It has been proved that we afflicted persons cannot recover by our own will power. We've failed again and again. Therefore, I believe that there must be a Higher Power that helps us. I think of that Power as the grace of God. And I pray every morning for the strength to stay rational today. I know that Power is there because it never fails to help me. Do I believe that this program works through the grace of God to help me?
MEDITATION FOR THE DAY
Once I am born of the spirit, that is my life's breath. Within me is the Life of life, so that I can never perish. The Life down through the ages has kept God's children through peril, adversity, and sorrow. I must try never to doubt or worry but to follow where the Life leads me. How often, when I am least aware, God goes before me to prepare the way, soften a heart, or put aside a resentment. As the Life spirit grows, my natural wants become less important.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
I pray that my life may become centered in God more than in myself. I pray that my will may be directed toward doing God's will.

And thank you so much for this, just what I need to read, and breath into.
I am going through some of what is talked about, yes we all do go through adveristy, and sometimes it is so difficult to find the Good that they say is IN ALL ADVERSITY.
Health on the mend, slowly, and then just a wallop of very painful family issues, and can get so stuck in the Me Mode. It is difficult for we do know that we need to take care of our own Spirits, through Prayer and Meditation. And I do do that, but the motive is to heal my own Spirit, and the knowledge, that it is in helping another, that can get that done so much faster.
So, thank you, I am going to this page in my 24 Hour a Day book, and just read, and re-read, and re-read. The Loving Grace of God, aware of it, without it, don't think I would be here writing to you. Good reminder.
