Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Reflection for the Day
Soon after I came to the program, I found a Higher Power. I’ve come to believe that my Higher Power has all power; if I stay close to my Power and do its work well, my Higher Power provides me not with what I think I want, but with what I need. Gradually, I’m becoming less interested in myself and my little schemes; at the same time, I’m becoming more interested in seeing what I can contribute to others and to life.
As I become more conscious of my Higher Power’s presence, am I beginning to lose my self-centered fears?
Today I Pray
May I see that the single most evident change in myself—beyond my own inner sense of peace—is that I have come out from behind my phony castle walls, dropped the drawbridge that leads into my real village, and crossed it. I am back among people again, interested in them, caring what happens to them. May I find my joy here in this peopled reality, now that I have left behind those old self-protective fears and illusions of my own uniqueness.
Today I Will Remember
What is life without people?
