"We believe that our Higher Power will take care of us."
Basic Text, p. 58
We all have times when it seems as though our lives are falling apart. There are days, or even weeks, when it seems that everything that can go wrong is going wrong. Whether it's the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, or the end of a relationship, we doubt that we'll survive the changes taking place in our lives.
It's during the times when the world is crashing down around our ears that we find our greatest faith in a loving Higher Power. No human being could relieve our suffering; we know that only God's care can provide the comfort we seek. We feel broken but we go on, knowing that our lives will be repaired.
As we progress in our recovery and our faith in our Higher Power grows, we are sure to greet the difficult times with a sense of hope, despite the pain we may be in. We need not despair, for we know that our Higher Power's care will carry us through when we can't walk on our own.
Just for Today: I will rely on God's care through the painful times, knowing that my High Power will always be there.
Our Saturday morning NA meeting at Salvation Army is an IP meeting or Just For Today focus.Today because of holiday only about 11 guys there.It was God IN THE HOUSE this day.The chair read todays writings and because was such a small group everyone got to share (2 guys for first time)Man room was in a spiritual haze and you could feel the presence of our HP in each one of the guys.Even though 2 shared on struggling with the "God thing" they were still knew they were being guided by their concept of this power greater then themselves.You know all meetings as far as I am concerned are beneficial to the addict but every now and then there is one that just lights you up!!Thank you ,my dear God can't get another day free from active addiction to start off any better than being among a room full of grateful men singing of the grace and mercy of their HP.WE GOT FILLED UP GOOD:)
