May 6 - So many of us suffer from despair. Yet we don't realize that despair is purely the absence of faith. As long as we're willing to turn to God for help in our difficulties, we cannot despair. When we're troubled and can't see a way out, it's only because we imagine that all solutions depend on us. The Gamblers Anonymous Program teaches us to let go of overwhelming problems and let God handle them for us.
When I consciously surrender my will to Gods' will, do I see faith at work in my life?
Today I Pray - May I, as a recovering person, be free of despair and depression, those two "down D's" that are the result of feeling of helplessness. May I know that I am never without the help of God, that I am never helpless when God is with me. If I have faith, I need never be "helpless and hopeless."
Today I Will Remember - Despair is the absence of faith.
