HEALING

Want to thank those who prayed for me for my early morning prayer post today re: my reoccurring migraine. I was able to fall back asleep and this morning I feel a bit better. Prayer does work! I know it does.

What an appropriate post to do today. God does have the power to heal us, body mind and hearts. Amen!

God, as understood by each of us, has the Power to heal our bodies, minds, and hearts. Once we realize that we are sick, we can open ourselves to God, which will affect our recovery. As we delve more deeply into understanding, we see that it is not only the body, which suffers from the disease of compulsive habits. Mind and emotions are also muddled and in need of God's cleansing.

Sometimes we have to get worse in order to get better. Sometimes we have to be more devastated by overeating, by pride, by fear and selfishness before we are willing to turn ourselves over to God for healing. We do not make the effort to work the Twelve Steps until we see how desperately ill we are.

God heals, but He requires our cooperation and effort. The extent of our recovery is determined by the intensity of our desire to get well. When our desire is focused on the source of health and held there steadily, we can become whole.

We pray for healing.

The bold parts are so very true. Getting worse in whatever we are dealing with until we finally come to the end of our rope for many of us seems to be the norm. Finally realizing we have a problem and we cannot solve it on our own.

Often I thought how serious am I in my recovery. Then I realized I am as serious as I want to get well......
