Helping Others Prayer

Lord,
I want to support and guide people around me,
It’s my deepest desire, but my challenges are the primary blockage.
I feel hopeless and unmotivated If I am unable to help others.
Please clear these blockages and make me able to help and inspire others to do the same.
Be my inspiration to spread happiness and motivation around my world.
Amen

Just a Thought

We had but two alternatives.

One was to go on to the bitter end, blot out the consciousness of our intolerable situation as best we could, and the other was to accept spiritual help. A new life has been given us, a design for living that really works. All of us establish in our own individual way our personal relationship with God.

So ............

Have I established my own relationship with God?

Just a Contemplation

Friendship

Don't overlook the value of friendship.

Some friendships wax and wane, going through cycles throughout the years. But some friendships will last a lifetime. Friendships can be a good place for us to learn to have fun and to appreciate how much fun we can have with a friend.

Dependent Upon

Let no alcoholic say he cannot recover unless he has his family back. This just isn't so. In some cases the wife will never come back for one reason or another. Remind the prospect that his recovery is not dependent upon people. It is dependent upon his relationship with God. We have seen men get well whose families have not returned at all. We have seen others slip when the family came back too soon.

Just a Few Quotes

“You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” ~ John Bunyan
