13th January 2012. I've been thinking about how often I complain to my Higher Power, whom I choose to call God. I say things like, "I'm grateful for this, God, but..." or, "I know I'm powerless, but..." Then the thought came to me: Don't tell God what to do! I describe the issue, turn it over, & ask what I need to do. When I do this with faith, God shows me what, if anything, I need to do. I trust that God's answer is better than any I could come up with myself. CoDA Daily Meditation.
