March 14 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON
March 14 in The Little Blue Book ONE DAY at a TIME in AL-ANON:
Even those of us who have no particular religious faith, or who have lost faith we once had, may reach such extremities that we cry out in desperation for help. We pray involuntarily, we pray to Something, some unknown power, to relieve us of our unbearable burdens.
Before I found Al-Anon, in my confusion and despair I asked for help in this way but the next moment I would begin to worry again about what was going to happen next. If we do finally as for God’s help, we must do so with absolute confidence. It is fruitless to take back into our own hands the problem which our powerlessness forced us to turn over to Him.
TODAY’S REMINDER
We are imprisoned by our on inability or unwillingness to reach out for help to a Power greater than ourselves. I will set myself free from the prison of self-will and pride which I myself have built. I will accept freedom.
“With the help of my God, I shall leap over the wall.”
