Principle 7: Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and to gain the power to follow His will.
Step 11: We sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and power to carry that out.
“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly.”
(Colossians 3:16)
Did you know that an unwounded oyster does not produce pearls?
Pearls are a healed wound.
Pearls are a product of pain, the result of a foreign or unwanted substance entering the oyster, such as a parasite or a grain of sand.
The inside of an oyster shell is a shiny substance called nacar.
When a grain of sand enters, the nacar cells go to work and cover the grain of sand with layers and more layers to protect the defenseless body from the oyster.
As a result, a beautiful pearl is formed.
An oyster that has not been wounded in any way does not produce pearls, because a pearl is a healed wound.
Prayer
Oswald Chambers we are encompassed with the sweet aroma of Jesus, and wherever we go we are a wonderful refreshment to God.
Actually translated “Leave your life of sin”
illustration of gratitude
First, for what are you thankful to God? Offer prayers of gratitude to your Creator.
In Philippians 4:6, we’re told, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
Psalm 107:15 encourages us to “give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and wonderful deeds for mankind.”
What wonderful deeds they are!
What are at least two areas of your life in which you can see God’s work and that you are thankful for this holiday season?
You can reflect on the last eleven months or on what God has done for you this week or even today.
Then take a moment to list just a few of the special things for which you are thankful to your Higher Power.
The next area is to list the individuals whom God has placed in your life to walk alongside you on your road of recovery.
We need to be thankful for others.
“Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other.
None of this going off and doing your own thing.
And cultivate thankfulness.
Let the Word of Christ —the Message —have the run of the house” (Colossians 3:15 – 16, MSG).
Who are you thankful for?
Why?
Take a moment to list them.
The third area we can be thankful for is our recovery.
“As for us, we have this large crowd of witnesses around us.
So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us” (Hebrews 12:1, GNT).
What are two recent growth areas of your recovery for which you are thankful?
Again, list them now.
The fourth and final area to be thankful for is your church.
“Enter the Temple gates with thanksgiving” (Psalm 100:4, GNT).
What are two things for which you are thankful to your church?
Take your “gratitude list” home with you tonight and put it in a place where you will see it often.
It will remind you that you have made progress in your recovery and that you are not alone, that Jesus Christ is always with you.
Using your gratitude list, going to your recovery meetings and making them a priority, and getting involved in service in your church are the best ways I know to prevent relapse during the holidays.

FULLY SURRENDER is the only way!
Anything else is counterfeit.
