Came to Believe
Boy I came to the hall I came too but this
came to believe stuff sure was hard
Because I did not want anything to do with
God as I knew Him then
I really was afraid of what He was going
to do to me never would admit that before
I know I was condemned to hell for all the
dumb things I did in my life
I sure did not want Him around me to
remind me where He was going to send me
Thought I could get sober on my own only
thing I needed to change was not drinking
When I got to these halls I had no faith
in any type of God and I sure did not trust yours
I sat and listened people sharing how they
began to believe in the higher power concept
I did not think that was so bad so my
group became my power greater than myself
That was only working for a little while
BUT I needed more so I tried this prayer thingy
Got on my knees and asked Him for help to
stay away from a drink today
It worked but still something else was
missing I still was not honest with people
So I started to get honest and humble in
my daily prayers to Him
But the things I prayed for I was not
getting asked my sponsor about this
He asked me if I was listening to God's
answers to my prayers DUH!!
He told me step 11 had two parts to it you
do a lot of praying but very selfish prayers
That’s why God keeps saying NO the second
part is the meditation part
Where you sit quietly and listen with your
heart to what God is saying
Look at what your asking for with your
prayers He will give you answers if you’re honest
God talks thru people so next time you
hear some one at meeting
It just might be God’s answer to your
questions listen with an open mind
Try to be humble in your praying to Him
asking for His guidance in your life
Knowledge of just what His will is for you
today and how to carry it out
God gave you second chance at life try
only to attune you free will to His will for you
And to try and do the next right thing in
your life today for others as well as for yourself
After all Pray is asking Gods advise
Meditation is listening to all his answers
Even it the answer is NO
God bless each of you as He has me
