Drop the Rock highlights

We surrender as much of ourselves to as much of God as we understand.

Surrender prayer

God we want to…
“change fear into faith, hate into love, egoism into humility, anxiety and worry into serenity, complacency into action, denial into acceptance, jealousy into trust, fantasy into reality, selfishness into service, resentment into forgiveness, judgmentalism into tolerance, despair into hope, self-hate into self-respect, and loneliness into fellowship.”
We can’t do it. But, you can and we believe you will.

“If you’re a real alcoholic or addict, you will stop using some day; it’s better to be alive when it happens.”

One night there was a man down on his hands and knees looking frantically for something on the sidewalk under a street lamp. A police officer stopped by and asked him what he was doing. “I’ve lost my keys,” answered the man. “Will you help me look for them?” The police officer joined in and after a while asked, “Are you sure you dropped them here?” The man looked up and said, “No. I dropped them back there—but there it is much too dark.” The police officer asked, “Why are we looking here then?” With all sincerity, the man answered, “Because here is where the light is, and I’m afraid of the dark.”

“Pray for potatoes, but pick up the hoe.”

Use prayer to ask for awareness and willingness to receive. Use prayer to ask for depth and clarity. Use prayer to ask to become a better channel for our Higher Power. Use prayer to ask for ease and grace in surrender. Use prayer to ask how to pray. Use prayer to ask how to think and act. Use prayer to say thank you. Use prayer.
