Aug. 14, 2021 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

There are times we must grab God’s hand and walk forward. — Anonymous

Sometimes we struggle with being part of the problem, instead of being part of the solution. Inside we know this, but somehow we can’t “Let go and let God.”

To let go takes faith that the outcome will be okay. When we have faith, we know our Higher Power believes in us and will guide us. When we have faith, we believe in ourselves. When we let go, we let go of our need to always be right. Letting go first takes place on the inside. Letting go allows us to change how we view what’s happening. Often, all we really need is this change of attitude. This is the beauty of faith: it allows us to see the same thing in different ways.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, permit me to let go. Let me see that believing in You must also mean believing in myself.

Action for the Day

I will review my life since entering the Twelve Step program. I will work at seeing what good partners my Higher Power and I make.
