http://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m.../questions.gifWonderinghttp://i295.photobucket.com/albums/m.../questions.gif Why? Why do I feel this way? Why do I feel so alone So different, So seperate. I know I am not different Unique in my own journey, Yet not so unique in my differences From others who have travelled this journey. Today I feel alone. Is it my own seperateness. Am I isolating my spirit as well as my body? I share with others Yet seem apart. No one close Am I looking for acceptance Validation for who I am? Is it my right? I am comfortable with me Or so I thought. Yet why this feeling of being alone. No one caring... No one sharing... No one showing any interest in what I do. Is it the ego? Is it the pride? Why have all the words dried up inside? How do I get them out? Express all the pain and the sorrow Letting you know how much I hurt To heal, to let go, to live and to dare to dream Of a better tomrrow A better day with hope Someone to love Someone who loves Someone who knows Someone who shares Someone who cares. Love Always, Butterfly (Caressa) |
http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...e/serenity.jpg THE SERENITY PRAYER GOD... With the saying of this word, I am admitting the existence of a Higher Power; a being far greater than I. With the repeating of this second word, I am admitting that a Higher Power is an authority who can bestow and give. ME... I am asking something for myself. If I ask, I shall be given. It is not wrong to ask for betterment of myself, for with the improvement of my character, people around me will be made happier. the SERENITY... I am asking for calmness, composure and peace in my life which will enable me to think straight and govern myself properly. to ACCEPT..... I am resigning myself to conditions as they are right now, rather than fight for how I want them to be. the THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE... I am accepting my lot in life as it is. Until I have the courage to change any part of my life I don't like, I must accept it without resentment. COURAGE... I am asking for conditions to be different, and for me to have the faith I need to make the changes in myself. to CHANGE... I am asking for a quality of spirit to become aware of those things I do that do not serve me in my recovery. the THINGS I CAN... I am asking for my Higher Power's guidance in making the right decisions. Everything in my life is not perfect, I must continue to face reality and constantly work towards continued growth and recovery. WISDOM.... I am asking HP to give me the ability to form sound judgments in any and all matters. to KNOW... I want to be able to understand clearly and see the reality in any situation. the DIFFERENCE... I want to see things differently in my life so there can be some distinction. I need to sense a definite value in love over selfishness, where my will gets in the way of my Higher Power's will. |
https://i.pinimg.com/originals/93/ba...e7767deb89.jpg Dear God, I am powerless and my life is unmanageable without your help and guidance. I come to you today because I believe that You can restore and anew me to meet my needs today. Since I cannot manage my life and affairs, I have decided to give them to You. I put my life, my will, my thoughts, my desires and ambitions in Your hands. I give You all of me: the good and the bad, the character defects and shortcomings, my selfishness, resentments and problems. I know that You will work them out in accordance with Your plan. Such as I am, take and use me in Your service. Guide and direct my ways and show me what to do for You. I cannot control or change my friends or loved ones, so I release them into Your care for Your loving hands to do with as You will. Just keep me loving and free from judging them. If they need changing, God You'll have to do it; I can't. Just make me willing and ready to be of service to You, to have my shortcomings removed, and to do my best. Help me to see how I have harmed others and make me willing to make amends to them all. Keep me ever mindful of thoughts and actions that harm myself and others, and which separate me from Your light, love and spirit. And when I commit these errors, make me aware of them and help me to admit each one promptly. I am seeking to know You better, to love You more. I am seeking the knowledge of Your will for me and the power to carry it out. Lord, teach me patience, and remind me that it is hard work, but well worth the labor. Guide me in all I do to remember that waiting is the answer to some of my prayers, and that when I need You, You will be there to help me. - - Amen https://i.pinimg.com/736x/5d/1c/91/5...opy-quotes.jpg |
