praying for anything···

Posted: Wed, Dec 1, 2004 06:43:31 AM

···  and getting everything, that i need anyhow. i have seen what praying for specific items or outcomes bring, and as a result i have long ago decided to refrain from praying for anything much beyond another day clean, knowledge of GOD's will for me and the COURAGE to carry it out.
i have found that as a result my needs are met, i have no expectations of GOD, and i seem to be more serene and less at odds with the world.
moving on to something different....
.... i have been at odds with the people i work with. i am frustrated and angry at work every single day lately and it is starting to become a major concern. for some reason, some expectation is not being met, and of course i have no clue (as usual) as to what is really going on.
i do know a few things though:
  • I am between step cycles
  • i have been through quite a period of emotional turmoil and growth
  • ... and i have not moved on with my professional life
whether this has anything at all to do with anything is still a mystery to me, but i know that with the assistance of my friends, my sponsor and GOD i will move through this phase and come out on the other side clean.
I CAN KEEP THE FAITH TODAY

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

He who in (Tao's) wars has skill
Assumes no martial port;
He who fights with most good will
To rage makes no resort.
He who vanquishes yet still
Keeps from his foes apart;
He whose hests men most fulfil
Yet humbly plies his art.

Thus we say, 'He ne'er contends,
And therein is his might.'
Thus we say, 'Men's wills he bends,
That they with him unite.'
Thus we say, 'Like Heaven's his ends,
No sage of old more bright.'
