We Get in Our Way

 

What gets in the way of our awareness of God is self. If we are narrowly focused on the concerns of ego and self-will, we ignore the presence of a Higher Power. Then we become weak and confused in our aloneness. ~ L., Elisabeth.

Ignoring the presence if our Higher Power
leaves us feeling alone, misunderstood,
weak and confused. It’s not that we’re really alone,
it’s in our lack of awareness because we’re so
totally aware of ourself, so unable to look around,
to see past our self-esteem and self-importance.
But when we look beyond, use the
“I can’t. God can. I think I’ll let God.”
shorthand for the first three Steps,
We’re no longer in the way
and couldn’t be in better company!
