For me, praying the power to carry out God's will is just another opportunity for me to experience powerlessness, because if I had the power already, I wouldn't need to ask for it.
Ever thought about the power of surrender in your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Sober Meditations', Buddy C. takes you on a 20-minute guided meditation focused on Step 11. Buddy, who has been sober since 2008, shares his personal experiences and insights on the importance of prayer and surrendering to a higher power. He opens up about his own struggles, including relapses and near-death experiences, and how he ultimately found peace through the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).
Buddy starts the meditation by guiding listeners to sit comfortably and focus on their breath. He encourages a body scan to release tension and express gratitude for the body's hard work. As the meditation progresses, Buddy discusses the concept of powerlessness as mentioned in the AA Big Book. He explains that finding a power greater than oneself is crucial for recovery and that praying for the strength to carry out God's will can be transformative.
Throughout the session, Buddy emphasizes that surrendering to God's will is an ongoing process. He shares a quote from John P., highlighting how AA works by relinquishing personal will to a higher power. Buddy also talks about the importance of kindness and helping others as a way to align with God's will. He reassures listeners that choosing to help others can bring both the power to act and the will of God into their lives.
This meditation is ideal for anyone looking to deepen their spiritual practice and apply it to their recovery journey. It offers practical tools and insights that can help you find a higher power and experience peace, regardless of your circumstances. Tune in to discover how surrendering can lead to strength and serenity.
