June 13 CHP 106 v 13 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS


But soon they forgot what He had done and did not wait for His plan to unfold.
(GODS BIG BOOK)


STEP 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.


Is that just like us! We get free from the chains and horrors of addiction only too get complacent and reckless only too find ourselves on the relapse roller coaster screaming for help again .Through self discovery this is one of my worse character defects (Impatience ,pride ). Complacency leads to impatience and that will turn into forgetfulness and forgetfulness becomes ungratefulness and Pride . We must never forget the hell we once lived and the pain we swam and almost drowned in. Waiting for Gods plan is a must and that plan is for our lifetime. Never become ungrateful and whatever you do train yourself to pray and wait it works and God will direct you ! Stay  thankful in every situation and watch how peaceful your life will become.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
