"As long as I keep talking to my HP in whatever manner and with as much faith as possible, asking only for the strength to do his will for me, one day at a time I will hear him."
During my 12 step work this week, I read something that made me chuckle and spoke volumes... "I don't have to figure God out." I have a part inside me that says, "but...I have to know what God is and how this works." In all honesty, do I really have to in order for this all to work? If I look at the evidence of my own healing in this program or recovery and if I keep reaching out to others sharing my experience, strength, and hope, and hearing theirs in return, I have all the evidence that I need to see that this works...without the elusiveness of knowing what God is and the why of how this all works. What exactly am I asking for as evidence when it's right there in front of me? Isn't what I've already experienced evidence enough to move forward with faith that ie will continue to work as long as I continue to work it? I don't have to continue to be so obstinate about God. I need the reminder often that I don't have to figure God out. The work brings me into a relationship with God and myself. In that work in healing my spiritual malady, the rest will sort itself out. That is a promise that is continuously fulfilled in this program.
