April 13, 2024 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

My life takes the course intended by my Higher Power when I go with the flow instead of against it.

— Kathy Kendall

The number of times we struggle today is directly related to how many outcomes we try to force. Our unwillingness to go with the flow can throw our journey off course. There is a rhythm to our lives — a pace and a direction — that’s been set by our Higher Power. Until we come to believe in that truth and become willing to trust it, we’ll cause ourselves many unnecessary problems and conflicts.

It’s restful to believe that there is a plan for our lives. It takes away the fretting and the guesswork, leaving many hours for play and creativity. It also assures us that we are special, not forgotten as we may have feared in the past.

I am willing to believe that I am on a special journey. Today’s experiences are part of it. I won’t fight them.
