Prayer is not a science.
~ Mary McDermott Shideler
Since becoming clean and sober, many of us are coming to understand the purpose and value of prayer in our lives. Our friends tell us that any words spoken in sincerity to our Higher Power serve as prayers. That’s good fortune for women like us.
This means we have the freedom to pray in any way that satisfies us. Now we can talk with God whenever and however it suits us. We will be heard, always. We will be answered when the time Is right. What an empowering opportunity! Coming to believe this gives us a respite from our Incessant fretting over everyday concerns.
Prayer can be anything—a thought, a request, a conversation, a plea, a dream. Our honesty is all that’s needed. Prayer is not mysterious unless we make it so.
Every thought I take to God is a prayer. Today I’ll be free of anxiety if I think of God before every action I take.
