Daily Reprieve

From Today’s Daily Reflections;

The principles we have set down are guides to progress.   (Alcoholics Anonymous, page 6)

Just as a sculptor will use different tools to achieve desired effects in creating a work of art, in Alcoholics Anonymous the Twelve Steps are used to bring about results in my own life. I do not overwhelm myself with life’s problems, and how much more work needs to be done. I let myself be comforted in knowing that my life is now in the hands of my Higher Power, a master craftsman who is shaping each part of my life into a unique work of art. By working my program I can be satisfied, knowing that “in doing the best that we can for today, we are doing all that God asks of us.”

END OF QUOTE

Where there is anxiety in my gut, please replace it with trust in my connection to you, my Higher Power.   Validate my simple faith to those who examine my life.  Let them see that I am more effective connected than isolated.  Carve out my true self.
