Meditations on "Surrender"

Today is a good day to ask God to help us let go of our harshness and embrace the gentleness of spirit that allows our hearts and minds to be at peace.

The disciplines of prayer and meditation help us hear from God and correctly handle the ongoing events of our lives. 

In all our decision making, when is it wise to focus on money and when does our focus become a problem?

The wise are cautious and avoid danger; fools plunge ahead with reckless confidence. (Proverbs 14:16)

I call to you Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you. May my prayer be set before you like incense. (Psalm 141:1-2a)

Be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ. (Ephesians 4:32)

As we spend time with Jesus, the Prince of Peace, we acquire qualities that make us more like Him.

When we are “poor in spirit” we will humbly live in the grace and favour of God. 

There is hope for each of us to leave the past behind and move forward to become the person we were created to be.

God's word as recorded in the Bible is the standard against which all of us must measure our behaviour.

Neither could we reduce our self-centeredness much by wishing or trying on our own power.  We had to have God's help."  (Big Book pages 62-63)

Failure to reach out to God for help and guidance is the root cause of all our relationship problems.
