PRAYER EACH TODAY - AUGUST - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

MajestyJo · 08-19-2017, 08:35 PM

To God be the Glory. It is the God of your understanding, not the God everyone told you about. I had to go on a spiritual quest, to find out who my God was to me. Whether it is a religious God, good orderly direction, a group of drunks and drug addicts, make your God personal. For me, God was an old tape. I was raised in the Gospel Halls, and it didn`t stop me from becoming an alcoholic or an addict. I was put on Valium at 16. I stole a glass of wine at 10 years old and remember trying to make a gulp look like a sip. The more I used, the farther away I got from God.

I came back to my God with a new awareness and a new understanding.

Faith ~ Hope ~ Love

May the kingdom of justice prevail!
May the believers be united in love!
May the hearts of the believers be humble, high on their wisdom,
And may they be guided in their wisdom by the Lord.
Glory be to God!
Entrust unto the Lord what thou wishest to be accomplished.
The Lord will bring all matters to fulfillment.
Know this as truth evidenced by Himself.

--Guru Nanak, early sixteenth -century Sikh prophet

The God of love my shepherd is,
And he that doth me feed:
While he is mine, and I am his,
What can I want or need?

He leads me to the tender grass,
Where I both feed and rest;
Then to the streams that gently pass:
In both I have the best.

Surely Thy sweet and wondrous love
Shall measure all my days:
And as it never shall remove,
So neither shall my praise.

God Knows How

"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them,
With men this is impossible; but with God all things
are possible." - - Matt.19:26

God knows how to become blossoms and fruit on the tree.
I don't But God knows.

God knows how to keep the stars and the planets secure in their
courses, to regulate the tides and seasons in a perfect plan.

God knows how to produce unlimited power out of the rocks of
the earth as oil and atomic power: and out of the heavens as
electricity and solar power. No man can fathom God's work. Only
the Infinite understands.

God knows how to join two cells and produce a beautiful little
body complete to the last detail. No man can reproduce Life;
but, God creates and maintains His creation according to a plan
so magnificent that it is beyond the vision of man to behold the
glory of it. God knows how to turn food into blood and flesh and
bones, how to constantly create new body cells and supply the
muscles with strength. We know this happens but we cannot
understand this miracle.

I now release all my problems to Him who knows how to solve
them and say with Jesus, "of myself I can do nothing, the
Father within me doeth the works." Oh how beautifully He
does them. I surrender my life completely to God, the only Power
and the only Presence.

And so it is.

Peace of Mind

THE LORD IS MY SHEPERD, I SHALL NOT WANT.
I am secure and at peace because of the Divine Law of Love
protects, guides, and leads me.

HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES:
HE LEADTH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.
I am centered in Peace. I am calm. The inner awareness
of Divine Peace gives me a quiet mind.

HE RESTORETH MY SOUL.
I am free from guilt or fear and my mind is renewed
through God's inner peace. His peace is my peace.

HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.
I trust God's guidance in and through me. His nature is
good and all thet He does through me is good.

YEA, THOUGH I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE
SHADOW OF DEATH, I WILL FEAR NO EVIL; FOR THY ROD
AND THY STAFF COMFORT ME.
My heart is at peace. God is the only Reality, and He is
always with me.

THOU PREPAREST A TABLE BEFORE ME IN THE
PRESENCE OF MINE ENEMIES: THOU ANNOINTEST
MY HEAD WITH OIL: MY CUP RUNNETH OVER.
I am at peace with my own thoughts and unified with all
of life. I am secure in God's abundance.

SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY SHALL FOLLOW ME
ALL OF THE DAYS OF MY LIFE AND I WILL DWELL IN
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER.
I rest in continual awareness of the Presence of God
within me.

And so it is.

(23rd Psalm)

PSALM 23......TO THE FULLEST

The Lord is my Shepherd! ...That’s Relationship
I shall not want! ...That’s Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures! ...That’s Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters! ...That’s Refreshment!
He restoreth my soul! ...That’s Healing!
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness! ...That’s Guidance!
For His name sake! ...That’s Purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death! ...That’s Testing!
I will fear no evil! ...That’s Protection!
For Thou art with me! ...That’s Faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me! ...That’s Discipline!
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies! ...That’s Hope!
Thou annointest my head with oil! ...That’s Consecration!
My cup runneth over! ...That’s Abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life! ...That’s Blessing!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord! ...That’s Security!
Forever! ...That’s Eternity!

Face it, the Lord is crazy about you. What is most valuable is not
what we have in our lives, but WHO we have in our lives! AMEN!

THE DOOR

My loneliness was a horror, that made me want to die.
I didn't have anyone, anything, a dying soul was I.

I walked the streets in shame and filth..not caring anymore,

Then through some sort of miracle, I found my way through that door.

It opened very heavily at first, and I was still so full of thirst.
Thirst for love and friends and booze,
How did I get here, I did not choose.

As I came and came, the door swung lighter,
I began to feel I was a fighter.
Though very much in a different way,
You finally gave me strength to pray.

In all my very lonely travels, trying to chase and climb the steeples,
By the Grace of God I got here and found people helping people.

Although that door swings lightly today,
I must remember to reach out and pray.
For each day now is a different thirst ,
I must remember how heavy that door was at first.

love ya all,
Dorrie
