I think I need a higher power AA talks about. I can’t do this on my will, that’s become very apparent to me the past few months. New day today and I want to get out of this.
I love hearing that. I myself am a Christian, and I will be the first to tell people that just because one becomes a Christian, their life does not get any easier. Mine most certainly did not. There have been times when I have not prayed like I should, due to my stress over this, but my faith has not been completely destroyed. I do believe strongly that God has put people in my life at just the right time to help me through my struggles. I have heard more than once (and believe it to be true), that God uses people to talk to me. My roommate inspires me. She’s been through a lot, and loves to “spend time with God”. I have yet to tell her that she has helped me to realize that I needed to pray more than I was here in the last several months. In all truthfullness though, I had a hard time talking to people as well. Now, that I have started setting aside time to pray, as I have seen my roommate doing, I have seen a change already. Not in my life’s events, but just in the fact that I can’t wait until I can talk with the Lord again. Of course, I know I can talk to Him whenever I want, but for me personally, it works easiest to set aside time where I am unable to get distracted. Perhaps that is where I was messing up earlier? Just some thoughts for you. By the way, how did your partner’s surgery go?
