Praying to God for help is the way to start the process toward a life in line with God's standards. His standards are in the bible.
The back to basics program (used by many today to recover from their problems the way the first twelve steppers did) tells us to test our thoughts by asking, IS IT HONEST, PURE, UNSELFISH AND LOVING? If we can answer yes to to these the chances are great that the thought, idea or plan is in line with God's standards as taught in the bible
I like the wisdom of "if in doubt, don't". Next ask the questions mentioned above and pray for guidance!
"Lord help us to measure our thoughts and findings by testing them and discussing (sharing) them with our chosen person. Help us to be totally honest and complete in our sharing of this fifth step and guide us to that person who is close-mouthed, trustworthy and supportive, that person who will never discuss our inventory with anyone else-Amen!"
Use the two-way prayer format 1- write and pray 2-listen and write all experiences and 3-ask for meaning and 4-write some more and ask and listen and ask and listen......... Share the prayer experience by praying, writing and asking God on behalf of a partner while he/she listens and tells of all experiences. This simple praywer process has worked for thousands who have gone before us, thousands who have recovered from their problems and addictions!
