havin been in the practice of daily mornin readin, prayer, and meditation, i dont think i could start a day today without doin it. i have tried and soon after leavin the house some bullshit happens and i feel the lack of guidance i need. callin the regular practice of prayer a vital sustenance isnt such a fairy tale to me, as wisdom has shown me how not doin it affects me today. just as this mornins readin suggests, when i turn away from prayer and meditation, i feel like i have deprived my mind, my emotions, and intuition of vitally needed support. it doesnt feel good to me to live my life that way anymore. there is no reason for me to live that way when i have a proven solution that works if only i do a few simple things. as i do these things i am provided a life with freedom, somethin i couldnt truly have before my recovery began. this practice helps me to accept lifes struggles and smile through them. when i am all wrapped up in my recovery, usin prayer and meditation, i do not notice the need to take everythin that happens around me as a personal slight so much. i have learned to laugh at self-pity because its so childish. the relationship i have with my HP allows the miracle-workin power of His strength to heal my twisted mind as i do as He guides me. as i continue to wholly trust in my HP, leavin to Him the choosin of the day and hour, i get to see His miracle-workin power manifest itself in my life. when i allow the evils i perceive around me to bother me to the point of tryin to forget the readins, prayer, and meditations from my mornin time with Him, they tend to become so extreme i cannot deal with them effectively. when i live the spiritual awareness ive gained, the balance of life and surrender are gifted to me. vital sustenance helps me to understand that i can embrace difference when it comes to me throughout my day. stillness comes to me that is not so much the absence of noise and activity, but rather the presence of tranquility and peace of mind, and an invisible openness to the immediate world about me flows within. as the icy intellectual mountain of ego and self-will melts, i get to stand in the sunlight feelin and realizin the hope and faith i gained from the spiritual awareness i learned from prayer and meditation. the experience of goin through any struggle i may face, becomes wisdom to use for another day. 1 day @ a time...
