11=Spiritual Solutions For That Relationship

Using 2-way prayer in step 11 to solve relational problems while building that All-Important relationship to God. We will use the original 12 step prayer system taught in the 40's where Chaplain John E. Batterson writes:

RESULTS- We never know what swimming is like until we get down into the water and try. We will never what this is like until we sincerely try it.

Every person who has tried this honestly finds that a wisdom, not their own comes into their minds and that a Power greater than human power begins to operate in their lives. It is an endless adventure.

There is a way of life for everyone, everywhere. Anyone can be in touch with the Living God, anywhere, anytime, if we fulfill His conditions:
When man listens God speaks,
When man obeys, God acts.

How to listen:
Take Time-quiet and undisturbed
2-Relax, there is no hurry
3-Tune In-Open your heart to God-"Lord God what is Your plan for my life today, please help me with my problem of_____________!"
4-Be still, in awareness of your thoughts impressions, sensations, anything and everything that is happening.
5-Write-this is the key. Write absolutely everything, I hear this....just saw mom's picture....what a great smell...I am feeling sick or nauseous...I am thinking of when i used to play... etc etc Record it all and go back to God from time to time and ask how these things are answers to this or that
6-Test the thoughts you feel are indicative of action before taking the action. Are they honest pure unselfish and loving. Any doubt here requires further prayer and possibly the help of another 2-way prayer walker
7-Obey, take the action. Step out for God who cannot steer your boat if it's not moving!

BE PATIENT AND WHEN FRUSTRATED LEAVE IT FOR A BIT AND COME BACK. KEEP CLOSE TO WHATEVER HELPS YOU FEEL SPIRITUAL WHILE IN 2-WAY PRAYER. I DO IT WITH AN OPEN BIBLE WITHIN REACH AT ALL TIMES. FOR ME THE REPRESENTATION OF GOD'S WORD REINFORCES MY FAITH.
