Lean on your Higher Power

December 3 - 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 thing 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 along 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.
