Language of Letting Go - Feb. 11 - Divinely Led
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Divinely Led
Send me the right thought, word, or action. Shaw me what my next step should be. In times of doubt and indecision please send your inspiration and guidance.
--Alcoholics Anonymous
The good news of surrendering ourselves and our life to a Power greater than ourselves is that we come into harmony with a Grand Plan, one greater than we can imagine.
We are promised Divine Guidance if we ask for it if we work the Twelve Steps. What greater gift could we receive than knowing our thoughts, words, and actions are being directed?
We aren't a mistake. And we don't have to control or repress others or ourselves for life to work out. Even the strange, the unplanned, the painful, and those things we call errors can evolve into harmony.
We will be guided into understanding what we need to do to take care of ourselves. We will begin to trust our instincts, our feelings, and our thoughts. We will know when to go, to stop, and to wait. We will learn a great truth: the plan will happen in spite of us not because of us.
I pray today and each day that my thoughts, words, and actions may be Divinely led. I pray that I can move forward in confidence, knowing my steps are guided.

I find that beginning each day with a prayer asking to be led, helps me live in faith that whatever unfolds today is life exactly as it is supposed to be.
I take quiet time to keep myself connected spiritually and I pay attention to what may appear to be obstacles because sometimes they are God`s way of detouring me to a better path.
If I am spiritually connected, if I remember to let God lead the way, all I really have to do is show up and let life happen.
