Not Our Own Strength

[MajestyJo]

In the past, we relied on our own strength to get us where we thought we wanted to go. We were afraid, since deep down we knew how weak and undependable our own strength really was.

When we turn our lives over, we no longer have to go it alone. We have tapped the limitless reservoir of strength provided by our Higher Power, and when we are operating under His guidance we feel confident. What we could not do ourselves can be done when we admit our weakness and ask for help.

- Food for Thought

So many times I think I am alone and yet, all I have to do is surrender in the moment, and connect to my Higher Power. When I turn things over, my phone rings or I get a special message or e-mail from someone that lets me know that they care and that I am not alone.

Lately due to health problems I have had trouble eating, things don't want to sit right or I don't feel like eating. Because my sleeping is out of whack, it puts everything else out of balance. I have to remember that even though it may be 3 a.m. my body may be telling me it is hungry and if I missed noon in daylight hours I need to feed my body during night hours.

The thought for today affirms the message I heard earlier today. the only way I can know God's will is to spend time with Him.
