March 28, 2023 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

 

Tuesday, March 28, 2023

Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

 Step Four

We avoid the Fourth Step. We put it off. We’re scared of what we will find inside of us. We may find out we’re mean, angry, selfish, afraid. We might see how badly we’ve acted to others, to ourselves. We have power to hurt, and we’ve used it. We all have these things inside of us.

We also have love, trust, faith, and hope. We love art, music, nature, or sports. We have power to heal, and we have used it too.

The Fourth Step helps us to know our inner power. As we learn about our own power, we can use it carefully, on purpose, to do good.

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, as I get ready to look at my true nature, help me surrender to your power and allow it to flow through me.

Action for the Day

Today I’ll watch my own actions and words. I’ll see how my power affects others. I’ll talk about this with my sponsor.
