Responding

Many of us find it difficult to accept the OA program at the beginning. Many of us cannot believe or are afraid to believe the good news at first. All we need to start is the desire to stop eating compulsively.

If we will be open to the program, we will find that it gradually unfolds. What we do not understand at the beginning becomes clear as we become ready to accept it. We shall never achieve perfection, but we can make progress every day.

When we are willing to grow and to change, God can work His miracles. OA is filled with members whose stories attest to the Power that has changed their lives.

I open myself to Your power, Lord.

Sometimes we don't realize we are shutting ourselves down and not open to receiving the message, energy healing, and direction we need. How many times have you sat with your arms crossed on your chest, your hands clasped together instead of opening and uplifting, your mind shut down, stubbornly not willing to let go and receive what our Higher Power sends us in today.
