Meditation and Prayer

The Eleventh Step asks us to meditate as a route to improving our conscious
contact with God.

Meditation is different than obsessing or worrying. Obsession and worrying
are fear connections. Meditation means opening our mind and our spiritual
energy to the God connection.

To connect with God, we need to relax as best we can and open our conscious
and subconscious mind to a Higher Consciousness – one that is available to
each of us.

In the busyness of our day and life, it may seem like a waste of time to
slow down, to stop what we’re doing, and take this kind of break. It is no
more a waste of time than stopping to put gas in our car when the tank is
almost empty. It is necessary, it is beneficial, and it saves time. In fact,
meditation can create more time and energy than the moments we take to do
it.

Meditation and prayer are powerful recovery behaviors that work. We need to
be patient. It is not reasonable to expect immediate answers, insight, or
inspiration.

But solutions are coming. They are already on the way, if we have done our
part – meditate and pray – and then let the rest go.

Whether we pray and meditate first thing in the morning, during a coffee
break, or in the evening is our choice.

When our conscious contact with God improves, our subconscious contact will
too. We will find ourselves increasingly tuned in to God’s harmony and will
for us. We will find and maintain that soul connection, the God connection.

Today, I will take a moment for meditation and prayer. I will decide when
and how long to do it. I am a child and creation of God – a Higher Power who
loves to listen and talk to me. God, help me let go of my fears about
whether or not You hear and care. Help me know that You are there and that I
am able to tap into the spiritual consciousness.
