...the power to carry it out, and the ability to live with the consequences will ensure that i get no more than i can handle. so thinking about what i have been praying for lately is always a great task for me to do. although, i think i am praying only for the knowledge, and in my formal prayer sessions, that is true, but looking over the **foxhole** prayers across the course of my day, i do find that i stray from that ideal. i still get mixed up about what i want and what i need, and as a result, i find that the tone of my prayers take on my current set of desires, whether i need them or not.
so i am just swamped today, as the latest of this particular entry may indicate, had to deal with a relative of a sponsee, who once again has relapsed and now has the possibility of a major consequence in his life. i would like to pray for him to come out of this on his feet and getting mercy, but i know to do so, would be putting too much attachment on an outcome, that i am unable to control, much less influence. so what is this addict to do? get back to work, see what i can get accomplished today and let go of the results of my plans as well as the plans of others. i know that is part of the will of my HIGHER POWER today, and i will transform that nugget of information into the power that is inherent in that knowledge.
