Allie, thanks for sharing that story - it was extremely powerful.

I also think that I can honestly say that it has gone a long way towards helping me establish my beliefs again.

Hi,
Found this on another website, thought it was worth sharing.

The alcoholic's daily prayer, "So far today, God, I've done all right. I haven't had a drink, haven't gossiped, haven't lost my temper, haven't been greedy, grumpy, nasty or self-centered. I'm really glad about that. But in few minutes, God, I'm going to get out of bed, and then I'm going to need a lot of help. Thank You."

"A Special Prayer"
Dear Lord, I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or thought that was not pleasing to you. I ask now for Your forgiveness. Please keep me safe from all danger and harm. Help me to start this day with a new attitude and plenty of gratitude. Let me make the best of each and every day to clear my mind so that I can hear from You. Please broaden my mind that I can accept what I do not understand. Let me not whine and whimper over things I have no control over. Let me continue to see sin through God's eyes and acknowledge it as evil. And when I sin, let me repent, and confess with my mouth my wrongdoing, and receive the forgiveness of God. And when this world closes in on me, let me remember Jesus' example - to slip away and find a quiet place to pray. It's the best response when I'm pushed beyond my limits. I know that when I can't pray, You listen to my heart. Continue to use me to do Your will. Continue to bless me that I may be a blessing to others. Keep me strong that I may help the weak. Keep me uplifted that I may have words of encouragement for others. I pray for those who are lost and can't find their way. I pray for those who are misjudged and misunderstood. I pray for those who don't know You intimately. . I pray for those who don't believe. But I thank you that I believe. I believe that God changes people and God changes things. I pray for all my sisters and brothers. For each and every family member in their households. I pray for peace, love and joy in their homes that they are out of debt and all their needs are met. I pray that every eye that reads this knows there is no problem, circumstance, or situation greater than God. Every battle is in Your hands for You to fight. I pray that these words be received into the hearts of every eye that sees them and every mouth that confesses them willingly. This is my prayer. In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen. --The author of this beautiful prayer is unknown

Allie,

Thanks for sharing that personal story and your insights.

Life is quite a journey isn't it? Its easy to get bogged down in our own little struggles and get lost in it. Everyone is dealing with so many things. I guess that's where alcohol comes in and gets a hold of us and before we know it we are seemingly trapped.

Suppose we need to see the big picture and have faith and live by those principals...just rambling....
