Reflection for the Day

Sometimes through bitter experience and painful lessons, we learn in our fellowship with others in the program that resentment is our number one enemy. It destroys more of us than anything else. From resentment stems all forms of spiritual disease, for we've been not only mentally and physically ill, but spiritually ill as well. As we recover and as our spiritual illness is remedied, we become well physically and mentally. Am I aware that few things are more bitter than to feel bitter? Do I see that my venom is more poisonous to me than to my victim?
Today I Pray

I ask for help in removing the pile of resentments I have collected. May I learn that resentments are play actors, too; they may be fears - losing a job, a love, an opportunity; they may be hurts or guilty feelings. May I know that my Higher Power is my healer. May I admit my need.
Today I Will Remember

Resentments are rubbish; haul them away.

Today's reading is from the book A Day at a Time: Daily Reflections for Recovering People*
