Serenity 12 step writer on Step1-We admitted we were powerless over others and our dependencies, that our lives had become unmanageable." "As long as we are too proud to admit our failures and powerlessness, we will not begin to see God work in our lives"
"It is only as we come to grips with the fact that God alone is our ultimate source of healing that we are ready for true liberation."
Humility says, Scott, what can you really do on your own, without Me and your fellow men? When you think you can perform, make decisions and act on your own (without prayer and human support), how secure do you feel with the results?
Lord guide me today as I accept Your power and my powerlessness. May I understand, as I pray, a clarity in Your direction for my life. Show me the way and help me to step out in action to fulfill it-Amen!
HINT: PRAY AND WRITE EVERY EXPERIENCE DOWN AS THEY ARRIVE (A NOISY DISTRACTION, AN ITCH, A GOOD OR BAD THOUGHT, FEAR, ANY FEELING). DISCOUNT NOTHING AND ASK YOUR GOD WHAT EACH OF THESE THINGS MEAN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PRAYER. AGAIN WRITE YOUR EXPERIENCES DOWN AND KEEP ON GOING. WHEN I DO THIS LIFE WORKS! WHEN I DO NOT DO IT, MY EVERY ACTION AND THE RESULTS THEREOF REMAIN IN QUESTION. ALONE SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK, THE TEAM OF GOD YOU AND ME IS UNBEATABLE AND MY CONTRIBUTION BECOMES INVALUABLE. WHY NOT TRY??? THIS IS TWO-WAY PRAYER IN ACTION!
