JUST FOR TODAY! – Step Eleven -- Nourishment

STEP ELEVEN Involves the spiritual disciplines of prayer and meditation.

We seek to know Christ more intimately through prayer and meditation, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” -- Colossians 3:16a

"Those of us who have come to make regular use of prayer would no more do without it than we would refuse air, food, or sunshine.  And for the same reason.  When we refuse air, light, or food, the body suffers.  And when we turn away from meditation and prayer, we likewise deprive our minds, our emotions, and our intuitions of vitally needed support.  As the body can fail its purpose for lack of nourishment, so can the soul.  We all need the light of God's reality, the nourishment of his strength, and the atmosphere of His grace."

c. 1952, Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, pages 97- 98

Just for Today -- A Daily Devotional

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

There is an old saying that absence makes the heart grow fonder.  The saying is definitely, not true -- absence makes us get used to the other person not being around and eventually makes us forget them.

That is what recovery is like without prayer.  When we stop communicating with God – we get out of the habit of seeking His will and our will gets back in gear.  We all realize that is a disastrous thing – and will most likely cause a relapse. 

We all need to stay close to God – He is our strength and the more we pray the closer we become and the more we can experience His grace, love and mercy.

Then I acknowledged my sin to you
and did not cover up my iniquity.

I said, "I will confess
my transgressions to the LORD"--
and you forgave
the guilt of my sin.

Selah

Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you
while you may be found;

surely when the mighty waters rise,
they will not reach him.

You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.

Selah

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;

I will counsel you and watch over you. -- Psalm 32: 5-8

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will direct your paths.

Proverbs 3, 5-6
