Find Your Identity

August 29 - Prayer can have many rewards.  One of the greatest rewards is the sense of belonging it brings to me.  No longer do I live as a stranger in a strange land, alien in a completely hostile world.  No longer am I lost, frightened, and purposeless.  I belong.  We find, in Gamblers Anonymous, that the moment we catch a glimpse of God's will - the moment we begin to see truth, justice, and love as the real and eternal things in life - we're no longer so deeply upset by all the seeming evidence to the contrary surrounding us in purely human affairs.

Do I believe that God lovingly watches over me?

Today I Pray - May I be grateful for the comfort and peace of belonging - to God the ultimately wise "parent" and to His family on earth.  May I no longer need bumper stickers or boisterous groups to give me my identity.  Through prayer, I am God's.

Today I Will Remember - I find my identity through prayer.
