An excerpt from a book I’m really enjoying “The practice of the presence of God” by Brother Lawrence
Hope you all find some joy in his presence today ![]()
I love this, thank you!
I just want to give thanks.
Sobriety is Sobriety, but getting through those tough battles. Letting go and giving it to God.
Being in a calm, even in the storm. I couldn’t of done it so easily without you, God.
For no worries are casted within’ me, a joy because of you.
Blessed to be in Montana.
Goodnight. ![]()
I love Mother Theresa. Her biography was a terrific book. Did you know she suffered from depression? She also was strong, powerful and opinionated.
I love her too, so inspiring. I haven’t read her biography, but will definitely add it to my reading list, thanks. And oh, I didn’t know she suffered from depression…
Good morning, everyone. ![]()
Another day with adventure and learning.
…
This song hits so much, it may help at sometime or even me in the future. I play it a lot.
..
Have a blessed day.
Over time, less and less chains in the details.
Less and less me.
For i know, God has me.
I need not worry, just praise be.
A deep rooted gratitude for what i have received, and a joy to give, a joy for true connection.
Goodnight. ![]()
One of the more big moments I had with God came 5 months ago.
I was burnt out, tired, at this point i started to truly give myself to God, in Jesus. But, i kept trying. Just kept trying to make so much work, or try and fix everything. I felt like I was going in circles. Just so lost.
I became drained. My spirit was strong, but i asked, God, I can’t keep getting lost, i keep losing myself in so much, this isn’t the life you wanted for me. That I knew.
A few days later, I simply prayed for Rest, to let everything be, and in that, He taught me how to let go, to feel free even in the storm.
To truly let go and Trust, for Jesus is here. He has not only the power, but the Glory.
I’m blessed to be able to truly feel that.
I still slip up from time to time, but, it gets better. And the slip ups are in detailed smaller things.
Day 1567.
Some things, well most things in sobriety isn’t how you want them to go. But, in the let go, it becomes better.
So many things happen, even weekly that truly, i am just so thankful for. Its been a beautiful 5 months. Everyday, even in the storm.
He will overcome it, i just listen.
Like my good friend said: “I’m pretty sure Jesus is a better chess player than me.” ![]()
