My Higher Power Is My Greatest Friend

Since beginning my journey out of codependency six months ago, I've had less tearful and hopeless moments. Before, These moments would seem to come out of the blue for me and it would take sometimes months for me to get over because I tried to fight the feelings or I'd get too wrapped up in the feelings. I just didn't know how to handle the feelings or what to do about them.

Now I just let the tears and the hopelessness flow until I allow my Higher Power to truly intervene. It seems often, once I truly surrender, the flow of tears and the feelings of hopelessness magically stops on a dime! This calming presence of serenity, my Higher Power, surrounds me, loving me and helping me see that once again,

my fear is:
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real

in my life.

And that I need not surrender to these feelings of hopelessness because my Higher Power is always here for me when I am lonely and blue, to not give into those feelings of doubt or fears about myself or others. My Higher Power loves me as I am. No matter what, I am accepted for me.

When I am truly able and willing to surrender my will to Him, this is when the hardest and most real work will begin in me. My HP is my peace, my serenity, my joy and above all else my closest friend.

I may not have my program set, or my steps completed but I know I have a friend and he's my Higher Power to whom I turn when the darkest hours are upon me and I can see no light. He's guided me many times to Co-NNections to read away my distresses. He knows me so well now, He knows I will read everything in the newsletter and bookmark it for later.

Thank you Higher Power for leading me here.
