Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
If we think too much, we hinder our understanding and our progress.
Step Eleven suggests that we’ll improve our conscious contact with God if we pray and meditate. The meditation part is particularly important. It’s the avenue between us and our Higher Power’s guidance. Quieting our minds of our obsession with what other people are doing isn’t always easy.
But it’s there, in the quiet, that we’ll feel God’s guidance, God’s message, God’s comfort. Having busy minds isn’t unusual. Nor is it accidental. Our minds are full because we fill them. If we want quiet minds in order to know God better, we must empty them.
God answers our prayers in the quiet spaces of our minds. Let’s listen.
I will clear my mind today so God can reach me with what I need to know.
