  • DECEMBER 19 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "I am not a superperson"

    DECEMBER 19 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "I am not a superperson"
    Dec 19 2024
    The Gamblers Anonymous Program teaches me to work for progress, not perfection. That simple admonition gives me great comfort, for it represents a primary way in which my life today is so different from what it used to be. In my former life, perfection - for all its impossibility - was so often my number one goal. Today I can believe that if I sometimes fail, I'm not a failure - and if I sometimes make mistakes, I'm not a mistake. And I can apply those same beliefs to the Twelve Steps of Recovery, as well as to my entire life. Do I believe that only Step One can be practiced with perfection, and that the remaining Steps represent perfect ideals? Today I Pray … God, teach me to abandon my erstwhile goal of superhuman perfection in everything I did or said. I know now that I was actually bent on failure, because I could never attain those impossible heights I had established for myself. Now that I understand this pattern, may I no longer program my own failures. Today I Will Remember … I may strive to be a super person, but not a superperson.

  • DECEMBER 18 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Be in harmony with God's will"

    DECEMBER 18 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Be in harmony with God's will"
    Dec 18 2024
    I'm learning all too slowly, at times - that when I give up the losing battle of trying to run my life in my own way, I gain abiding peace and deep serenity. For many of us, that learning process is a painfully slow one. Eventually, however, I understand that there are only two wills in the world, my will and God's. Whatever is within my direct control is my will, and whatever is beyond my direct control is God's will. So I try to accept that which is beyond my control as God's will for me. Am I beginning to realize that, by surrendering my will to the Divine Will, I am for the first time living turmoil and without anxiety? Today I Pray … May I hope that my will can be congruent with the all-encompassing will of God. I pray that I will know immediately if my will is in a useless tug of war with His Divine Will. May I trust God now to guide my will according to His Master Plan - and to make His purpose mine. Today I Will Remember … I will that my will be in harmony with God's.

  • DECEMBER 17 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Feel the stillness of God"

    DECEMBER 17 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Feel the stillness of God"
    Dec 17 2024
    More and more these days, as I progress in my recovery, I seem to be quietly waiting to hear my Higher Power's unmistakable voice within me. Prayer is becoming a two-way street - of seeking and listening, of searching and finding. A favorite bit of Scripture for me is, "Be still and know that I am God." Do I pay quiet and loving attention to my Higher Power, confident that an enlightened knowledge of His will can come to me? Today I Pray … As I seek to know my Higher Power, may I learn the best ways for me to reach and hear Him. May I begin to feel prayer, not just listen to the sound of my own verbalizing. May I feel the sharp outlines of my humanness fading as His Godliness becomes a part of me. May I feel that I am one with Him. Today I will Remember … Feel the stillness of God.
