Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
God is in charge.
— Daily Word, November 10, 1987
A basic truth in our life, about which we need never be concerned, is that we are in the care of a loving God — always. And we can feel and unquestioningly know this presence if we choose to acknowledge it. When we take a moment to reflect on our past good fortunes — that we found this program, that our relationships with others are on the mend, that we harbor deep-seated fear far less often — we can use them to bolster our faith that our Higher Power is here, now, and will remain our constant, caring companion.
For some of us, faith in a greater Power comes easily. But many of us begin to have faith only through Acting As If. By quieting our mind, visualizing a loving presence, and breathing in the warmth and comfort, we can find the peace that is God. Through “practicing the presence,” we’ll strengthen our faith and ensure our peacefulness.
I can feel the peace I desire today through my own efforts to remember God.
