Food for Thought~daily Meditations 10-10

Powerless


I am powerless over food. By myself, I am unable to control what I eat or manage my life. Thanks to OA, I have found a Higher Power by which I am learning to live a new life.

So that this Higher Power may live in me, I surrender myself. No longer do I try to live by my own efforts; no longer do I try by myself to control what I eat. Since I am powerless over food and cannot manage my life, I give myself to God as I understand Him and ask that He live through me.

When I surrender, my Higher Power takes over. Then, instead of being weak and powerless, I became strong thorugh His strength. So very simple. I wonder why it takes so lone to learn? the only requirements is, inthe words of T.S. Eliot, Aa condition of complete simpicity, costing not less than everything.

May I remember that without You I am powerless.
