God’s Will Revealed

 Prayer to our gracious God and daily meditation on His word are positive practices that will form the foundation for the rebuilding of our lives.  As we take time out each day to be with God, we don’t just learn facts about Him, we get to know His character and His ways.  As we draw closer to God, we discover that we have a loving friend who knew us before we were born, knows all about us, and cares deeply for us.  

 God created us with a deep longing for intimate personal sharing and understanding, trusting and being trusted. God wants us to first fulfill these desires through relationship with Him.  In our relationship with others, we often may feel close to them and at other times disconnected and lonely.  God desires that we speak heart to heart with Him about these things that really matter. 

 The prayer and meditation to which Step 11 invites us is more than just trying to figure out God’s plan for us.  Meditation and reading scripture reveal to us the nature of God and all the promises He has made to us. Underneath all our "spiritual exercises" is God's desire to affirm His unfailing love for us.  

Improving our conscious contact with God will strengthen our faith as we seek Him in all our ways and practice His principles in all our affairs.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your unfailing love for me.  I ask for strength to live as a person who honours You in all my ways.  Draw me closer to You that I might embrace and act upon those things that are Your heart’s desire. Amen
