So true for me, when I pray a on daily and basis things are good and balanced. When I don't not so good.

All about change and growth.

Oh yeah the praying no problem the meditating well need to work on that!

G, I have gotten into the practice of actually talking to God throughout the day. Just yacking. "Hey, thanks for everything." Stuff like that. lol I don't do formal prayers anymore. They remind me too much of when I was a kid in Catholic school and everything was done by rote. Nothing from the heart.

I hear ya with the meditation. I do sit quietly and contemplate after my morning reading, and when faced with decisions to be made I make it a point to meditate. I do find it helps with guidance and centers me. Just puts me in a better frame of mind.

Talking to my HP absolutely, as far as prayers go I use the serenity prayer and asking my HP for guidance and direction on a situation or in general.

Hear ya on Catholic school went 1st and 2nd grade which I failed if ya can believe that (have proof) had to move of down the road....

Should also mention at the end of a meeting I no longer say the lords prayer, was a big relief on day when I made the decision it just wasn't part of who I am but stand silently in respect of others.

I look forward to my prayers. I love that time before bed, when I walk through my prayers. I've begun two weeks of praying for someone I can't seem to forgive, and who won't let me make an amends to her. I am confident prayer will help --- even if it isnt the outcome I'm sure I want right now.

They both go hand in hand for me BBH. I guess I was praying a lot in early sobriety and didn't even know it was prayer. Little self speak was my prayer then. GOYA, Just do it, this too shall pass. Perhaps it was God talking to me through me, who knows. But you're right with the act bisso. I know when I do pray though I'm less likely to rush into my day and do my will. Not all about me... doing the wiggle dance ... feeling good now, off to work :}
