On awakening, let us think about
the twenty-four hours ahead. We ask God to direct our thinking, especially
asking that it be divorced from self-pity and from dishonest or self-seeking
motives. Free of these, we can employ our mental faculties with assurance, for
God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be on a higher plane when our
thinking begins to be cleared of wrong motives.
If we have to determine
which of two courses to take, we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought,
or a decision. Then we relax and take it easy, and we are often surprised how
the right answers come after we have tried this for a while.
We usually
conclude our meditation with a prayer that we be shown all through the day what
our next step is to be, asking especially for freedom from damaging
self-will. As Bill Sees It, p243
How I apply this today is, "Is it
coming from a place of honesty, openmindedness, willingness and love? Or is it
coming from a place of me, my and mine?" or "Is it come from a place of service
or is it coming from a place of self-seeking?" While I am not always good at
following through, I am getting better at recognizing the
difference.
Thank you Higher Power for some 'wisdom to know the
difference". Thank you for allowing me the freedom to choose. And thank you
for continued guidance. Thank you.
