It’s just lately that I’ve been not connecting to God. I had a strong connection early in my first year, do you have this experience?
i find the connection problem is always on my end. most times im not listening properly and miss God speaking to me through other people and events.
about that 7th step prayer:
I pray that You now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to You and my fellows
notice it doesnt say ALL defects are removed. givin rides and sponsoring=defects which stood in the way have been removed.
