IN MY BEST INTEREST

“…Though perhaps he came to scoff, he may remain to pray.” Alcoholics Anonymous, Doctors Opinion

“I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.” Psalm 5:3

For what it's worth: During my drinking years I was afraid to ask God for anything. Even early in Alcoholics Anonymous I defiantly refused to pray with you at a meeting. After all, was not my presence enough? My sponsor confronted my cover and taught me to say “Please help me” each morning and “Thank you” at night. Such was the simple start to a rewarding prayer life. At first I had to learn to be patient with the good Lord. Now I can seek my Heavenly Father’s help and wait, trusting His response will be in my best interest, although at times I may not see it that way.

God bless you.
