Each morning when I wake up, I turn my day over to the God of my understanding. My understanding in today is that God is all things. When I try to identify God, I limit Him/Her/It as to how my God can work in my life.

I will be referring to my God as He quite often, only because it is easier to type one word than three. For me, God is three-fold, body, mind and spirit, which makes up me. The Bible says I was made in His image, so He must have a little bit of me in Him. Now that is a scary thought, yet I know he identifies with me, has a sense of humour, is very patient, tolerant, understanding, forgiving, and all those traits which he is try to teach me in today. Whatever the trait, the habit, the ideal, the goal, etc. God and I are working on it just for today.

All I have to deal with is this days thoughts, actions, events, etc. When I stay in today, yesterday has gone, tomorrow hasn't got here yet, and I can live the day to it's fullest.

When I turn each day over to my God, I know things unfold as they should, not as I would always like them. As much as I don't always like it, I am exactly where I am suppose to be.

If I make wrong choices, He brings me back to where I need to be. If I haven't learned a lesson, he keeping putting it in front of me until such a time as I learn what it is I need to know.

I am reminded that it is my knowing for my life, not that of the loved ones in my life.

Something I shared on another site in 2011. It is hard to believe it is 5 years ago.

The last line reminds me of what I use to say to others prior to recovery, "If you are going to pray for me, pray quietly so I can't hear you. The more you say don't, I do!" They say that recovery is a change of attitude sufficient to aid recovery. Mine had to go and I had to go on a spiritual quest to find out who my God was to me.
