Winning the Battle on the Battlefield of Spiritual Warfare

I'm really enjoying the readings this morning. Again, an opportunity presents itself for me to work this 12 Step program...Bring the focus back on me, myself and I in how I am contributing to the problems I face?

One Day At A Time In Alanon, p. 267, "This is the best reason for detaching our minds and our emotions from the minute by minute conflict and seeking a peaceful, orderly way of life within ourselves. If we stop fighting out every incident that happens, absence of an active adversary is bound to bring about wholesome changes in the home environment and everyone in it....I will not try to outwit or outmanuever anyone else, but will proceed quietly to live my life so I will have less reason for self-reproach. I will withdraw my mind from what others do, and think of what I am doing. I will not react to challenging words and actions." A quote from Epictetus, "When you are offended at any man's fault, turn to yourself and study your own failings. Then you will forget your own anger."

Dear Sweet Lord GOD Almighty Creator, thank YOU for the privilege to live Life, to love and to be loved. Thank YOU for the wonders of this world and the multiple opportunities YOU provide us all to turn our lives and our wills over to YOUR care, guidance, protection and love. Lord, please help me to be of service to YOU and my brothers and sisters of the Spirit. As YOU Will. Love, Carol xoxox
