Aug. 4, 2024 - Readings in Recovery: Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation

Today's Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:

Some things have to be believed to be seen.

-- Ralph Hodgson

In recovery, we learn to trust. We trust that our Higher Power is on our side. Maybe we can't see our Higher Power, but once we start trusting, things change. Step Two says, "Came to believe..." Once we come to believe, we start to see our Higher Power working in many ways. We make new program friends. We find new peace. Our family and friends trust us again.

Life won't always be fair. We won't get all we want. But we'll find the love and care we need. If we're open to believing in love, the easy times will be easier and the harder times a bit softer.

Do I believe in love?

Prayer for the Day

Higher Power, help me believe, especially when times are hard. Help me not blame You for the hard times.

Action for the Day

I will write what I believe the program and my Higher Power want for me.
