“Before meeting you, the only tools I had to accept things I didn’t like were drugs and alcohol.”

”The other side of communication is listening. In listening, our task is to hear without judgment and without trying to provide an answer or cure every pain. To express ourselves to others, to be fully understood, and to know we are understood will lift our hope and self-esteem. Today, I will take some time to contact people in my life by revealing my feelings to them and listening to what they are saying.”

“I just called to let you know how much I love you,” a friendly voice resonated over the telephone. Should you feel separated, make a list of people to whom you could give love through a phone call, visit, or other act of kindness. Simply making this list and acting on it will change your life immeasurably. Love heals all. Today, I pray for the strength to reach out beyond my separateness and discover that my healing is joined with service.”

“Gently breathe in God's spirit, that spirit which, if not barred out by selfishness, will enable you to do good works. This means rather that God will be enabled to do good works through you. You can become a channel for God's spirit to flow through you and into the lives of others. The works that you can do will only be limited by your spiritual development. Today, let my spirit be in harmony with God's spirit. There is no limit to what I can do in the realm of human relationships. Prayer for the Day “I pray that I may become a channel for God's spirit. I pray that God's spirit may flow through me into the lives of others.”
