JUST FOR TODAY! Open Mind

 

STEP TWO: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

 

"Take it easy. The hoop you have to jump through is a lot wider than you think ... First, Alcoholics Anonymous does not demand that you believe anything.  All of its Twelve Steps are but suggestions.  Second, to get sober and to stay sober, you don't have to swallow all of Step Two right now ... Third, all you really need is a truly open mind."

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

**********************************

We all have to admit that up to the point in our lives that we were active in addiction, we were not doing things that produced positive results.  We find AA and the steps -- and most of all God.  Although the tenets of AA say “higher power” - the truth is that it is all about God.  He is the one that makes it all come together and He is the one that restores us to our rightful place in the kingdom.  To succeed in the program, requires a relationship with the true God and living by the power of Jesus, trusting in His name.

 

“By faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong.  It is Jesus' name and the faith that comes through him that has given this complete healing to him, as you can all see.” -- Acts 3:16

 

* As you make your requests known to the Lord, include:

·        greater personal discipline,

·        worldwide persecuted Christians,

·        Hedge of protection to our children

·        Blessings to our spouses

·        Godly men in Government

·        Rest and Peace to our pastors

·        Your activities for the day.

 

Love One Another

Stand Together

Fight this war, no matter the cost

Pray for our children

Turn our hearts toward heaven

Seek to be one nation under God.

God Bless and Guide You in your Christian Walk Today

 

“The Lord bless you and keep you,
the Lord make his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn his face toward you
and give you peace.”
-- Numbers 6:24-27

”Two are better than one, because they
have a good reward for their toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other;
but woe to one who is alone and falls
and does not have another to help”
-- Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

 

"Carry this message to other alcoholics! 

You can help when no one else can."
