Our ancient enemy, self-will, wears a mask, confronting me with this sort of rationalization: Why do I have to lean on God? Hasn't He already given me the intelligence to think for myself? I have to pause when such thoughts creep into my mind, remembering that I've never really been able to bring about the results I wanted simply by relying on my own devices. I'm not self-sufficient, nor do I know all the answers; bitter experience alone teaches me that.Do I know that I need God's guidance? Am I willing to accept it?Today I Pray … I pray that, as I become stronger in my conviction and in my abstinence, I will not begin to shrug off my dependence on a Higher Power. May I continue to pray for guidance, even when things seem to be going along smoothly. May I know that I need my Higher Power as much in times of triumph as in times of trauma.Today I Will Remember … Self-sufficiency is a godless myth.A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiHG.A.
