JULY 3

“Seven days without God

makes one weak.”

I don’t know how or why God seems to disappear from my life, but He does. Monday morning I’ll be running late and not have time to pray, and the next thing I know it’s Wednesday. I’ll go to my meeting that night, but Thursday and Friday rush by, and before I can catch my breath, suddenly it’s Sunday afternoon. By then I find myself alone and not feeling very well, and that’s when I make the connection.

Early on in recovery, I was taught that the first Three Steps could be summarized as, “I can’t, He can, let Him.” The problem is that I quickly forget the “I can’t” part. Once I’m under the illusion that I’m in charge, I’m off trying to control life to get everything I think I need. The only good news is that it takes less time these days for me to feel the effects of this self-will run riot.

Happily, it’s easy for me to get reconnected to my Higher Power, and the positive effects I feel are immediate. Once I practice the “He can” and the “let Him” part, I’m restored to sanity and to my proper role in life. My job isn’t to rush around like a crazy person trying to accomplish and control everything; rather, my role is to seek God’s will and to be of service. And when I stay connected to the Steps and to God, I’m as strong as can be.
