I have these
“rights” …..
Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seems to go
right? Maybe even a week or longer where things just are not working out?
I have a few friends right now that are struggling with life challenges and issues
that are taking longer than expected to resolve and it’s no picnic for
them. It’s frustrating when we are going through these times.
Now maybe
it’s different for you but, when things don’t go my way or the way I expect
them to, my “rights” move in and try to convince me that my way is the
only way and the best way. This crowds out not only reality, but also the
ability for God to work in me and through me to show me what is meant to
be.
I have learned through these times and over the years to look
for the good and hold fast to my knowledge and experience that my faith will
see me through and my hopes will keep me looking for the positive… Check
your experience…
“I can watch my serenity level rise when I discard my
expectations. But then my “rights” try to move in, and they too can force my
serenity level down. I have to discard my “rights,” as well as my
expectations,” Big Book pg 420
Lord, remind our hearts in times of struggle
and discomfort that this will pass and to look for the good and not focus on
the bad, AMEN.
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have
peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome
the world.” John 16:33
How about a daily dose of hope
and inspired thought?
