I Ask God To Decide

Recovery
#1

“I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows.”
— ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 76

Having admitted my powerlessness and made a decision to turn my will and my life over to the care of God, as I understand Him, I don’t decide which defects get removed, or the order in which defects get removed, or the time frame in which they get removed. I ask God to decide which defects stand in the way of my usefulness to Him and to others, and then I humbly ask Him to remove them.

Love this passage and the message it carries. What do they say progress not perfection. You don't wake up one day and all your behavior problems are gone. It takes a lot of self reflection and awareness. Can't change what you don't acknowledge :100: my therapist tells me this all the time. Helps me to continue to move one day at a time.

Wishing you many blessings and peace today Michael. Thank you for sharing a great message :grinning:
