Stud-
I am on my 11th step again this is a step I truely love. I like to keep a note pad by my computer to jot down names of people who are asking for prayer support. Then at night I add it to my prayer journal and then say my prayers for the day. In the morning when I wake up I read in my journal and make notes if someone calls and ask for prayers I add their name to my journal. On one page I have as a heading:"Child of mine if I felt about you they way you feel about these people where would you be?" I add the names of people that I feel conflict with,that I feel have wronged me in some way and,the ones I just plain don't like. It is really hard for me to visit that page but, I feel like it is one of the most important pages in my prayer journal. Because the people I do not relate well with are teaching me a bigger lesson than all the rest combined. I ask my HP to bless these people and keep them safe after awhile of doing that when thoughts of that person come up for me I find myself asking God to bless tham and keep them safe automatically and this helps me more than I can say to be
blessing rather than cursing. It is easy to pray for ones that we love and care about.I am very thankful to my sponcer for helping me place this heading in my prayer journal because this is where I can grow and find true compassion.
