Reflection for the Day
For those of us who have lost our faith, or who have always had to struggle along without it, it’s often helpful just to accept -- blindly and with no reservations. It’s not necessary for us to believe at first; we need not be convinced. If we can only accept, we find ourselves becoming gradually aware of a force for good that’s always there to help us.
Have I taken the way of faith?
Today I Pray
May I abandon my need to know the why’s and wherefore’s of my trust in a Higher Power. May I not intellectualize about faith, since by its nature it precludes analysis. May I know that “head-tripping” was a symptom of my disease, as I strung together -- cleverly, I thought -- alibi upon excuse upon rationale. May I learn acceptance — and faith will follow.
Today I Will Remember
Faith follows acceptance.
