Reflections for Every Day - March

[LittleWing7]

If I run the show today, things won't go my way- what I paradox! Pg 45, Big Book of AA:"Lack of Power, that was our dilemma. We had to find a Power by which we could live, and it had to be a Power Greater Than Ourselves. Obviously, but where and how to find this Power?" ( Chapter:We Agnostics)

Chapter : How it Works: Pg:68
Third step:"Perhaps there is a better way-we think so. For now we are on a different basis; the basis of trusting and relying upon God. We trust infinite God rather than our finite selves. We are in the world to play the role He assigns. Just to the extent that we do as we think He would have us, and humbly rely on Him, does He enable us to match calamity with serenity."
I thought I would start this day with those reminders for myself, and share them with others. This is because I pray the third step prayer every morning and then arise to once again try to run my own show. Every tiny instant that I remember to give it over to my Higher Power and am then calmed by His Presence my faith is increased, my fear is diminished. Thank you for maintaining this website.
