I have come to understand this last year since the death of my son to be a period of significant spiritual growth. Growth not in terms of expanding my understanding of my higher power, but rather, a simplification. My studies at seminary pushed me to understand more deeply my higher power. My “schooling” over the last year has been to strip my understanding to the bare necessity.

Third Step Prayer
https://recoveredcast.com/wp-content/themes/osmosis/images/empty/thumbnail.jpg 150 150 Mark S Mark S https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ef9469e066cec98d7076ffb23120cf87?s=96&d=mm&r=gGod, I offer myself to Thee- To build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!
This prayer shows me how my higher power can remove my difficulties. They are not magically removed in an instant, but rather they are removed through actions that can be seen. Again, faith without works is dead is the AA mantra. There is work to be done here. But what is the motivation for removing difficulties, what is the pay off? It is for the benefit of others, you see I’m trying to be freed from the bondage of self.
I am called to be a good example to give hope to others who face the difficulties too. I’m not sure I’m “all in” on this one.

When Bad Things Happen

I believe it is my job to give them meaning, sometimes to make a decision to impose that meaning.
