The Set Aside Prayer (or lay aside prayer): Dear God, please set aside everything I think I know About myself, this book, my disease, these steps, and especially about you dear God so that I might have an open mind And a new experience with all these things. Please help me to see the truth.
Pancake Marathon
Today, I'm almost at a loss for what to write here; to let the past be the past and to give time time, are essentially things that come up: and yes not going that God essentially could be the thing that really sums it up and putting it into perspective.
I say this because yesterday was a challenge, I know everyone has their moments of what they can consider a challenge and what they themselves are at the moment of where they're at in their recovery; this is all true.
and still there's a point where it's like why am I obsessing over this small insignificant thing, when I am doing the small insignificant things that are going to better myself and significantly change my life today: in this moment; for that is why it is so powerful to keep putting the work in, for sometime slowly and sometimes quickly but it only works if you work it.
I know that I cannot adequately explain within this contacts of keeping with the theme of what this is, what is the theme of what this is that of essentially The Hope factor or that of what seems to be a reflection upon the day, and yet it is that of what happened upon person yesterday and me just reflecting upon it today; maybe this is essentially my daily reprieve for my daily inventory.
it's just, facing things head on, essentially everything that I've been practicing, because I know that I'm not perfecting the steps I'm just there to practice them; for there are some points to where I just, did not keep doing the next right thing and in that I fell short: with that simply said I developed a way to cope, yes in an unhealthy way of coping and to Simply say a character defect.
and yet at the same time maybe this is the lesson that I need to learn, because I am so dedicated to my recovery that there are moments to where you know God, when you ask for something essentially they don't just instantly poof it into your life essentially, they give you The experience that will then be within what is your free will and that of you getting what you need out of it essentially and leaving the rest; for I have heard that when you pray for reprieve away from this Obsession and help relieve the resentments, it could simply be said that it was your higher power that really did this to you to rock your foundation. in a sense of saying to help you move to the next chapter in your life, be it a phase and even if it's a moment or a season; and with that being said essentially it comes down to the simple fact that when it is your higher power that is coming into such workings in your life that how can you pray for them to stop this, when they're a couple of factors of you asked for it and that of if they're the ones that are doing it: is that then a point where your begging them to stop.
or it is true, that essentially I know only a little and that of me keep putting the work in more will be revealed to me, yes sometimes quickly and sometimes slowly and yet to Simply say “ I don't have to do this alone because I have a fellowship, tools that can help me keep my peace of mind and find it;” For overall I will find a way to keep on doing the good intentions that I know that I can/ leave it better than I found it/for what if I am the one that I've been waiting for to be the change in the world that I want to see.
You may think that there are a thousand different things being done in recovery, really there's just a thousand different ways of saying a few simple things.
Practicing the principles in all my affairs
