March 20, 2020 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Friday, March 20, 2020
Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Courage
God, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today that You and I together can’t handle.  Anonymous
Courage is what makes us do the right thing even when nobody else is doing it. We can find happiness while surrounded by darkness; we can be loving in the middle of hate and envy, and serene when surrounded by chaos, fear, and anger.
The principles of our program help us face impossible odds. We learn that any act of courage may produce future victory for ourselves and others. The courage that we want takes its strength from faith, not from bravery or physical strength.
Foolish, unthinking courage, though, can be destructive to us or to others. Sensible courage never fails because it is made up of truth and faith.
Let truth and faith give me courage, so that when fear knocks, no one is there.
Hazelden Foundation
