"Just for Today: My recovery is more than infatuation. I have surrendered. Today, I will nurture my conscious contact with my Higher Power and accept that Power's continuing care for me."
Totally surrendering and accepting that my higher power will care for me remains a struggle. My fear always gets in the way. How do I develop the faith and trust in a higher power without reservation?
Thanks for posting that buddy,,, I need to be reminded that the JFT sits in my house, waiting to be read and why I dont do that on a regular basis I cannot understand !!!

That initial connection must be slowly, patiently nurtured into a lasting, durable bond.
It's the same with surrender and acceptance. We surrender when we acknowledge our powerlessness. Slowly, we come to believe that a Power greater than ourselves can give us the care we need.
Theres no race here this is slow for many of us we grow into things , ideas, new attitudes and new PERSPECTIVES, thats an important word to know and understand I think because thats part of the goal for us to gain a new perspective.
I did do it too Raman part of it is my lack of willingness to turn my will and life over and a part of it is pure laziness LOL

thanks for the reminder Big V. SURPRISE....patience is not one of my strong points LOL
Here's the link to an automatic JFT that Big V posted last year. I have the URL bookmarked and click on it as soon as I sit at the puter in the morning, (after praying) then I ponder it a little and write a comment. It's proving to be a sound way to start the day. thanks again to Big V. for providing this
