Give it up...


...only hour-by-hour gratitude
is strong enough to overcome all temptations to resentment.
You will never turn your will and your life over
to any other kind of God except a loving and merciful One.
Why would you?
But now that you know, why would you not?
A. A. says, "It is really easy to begin the practice of Step Three.
In all times of emotional disturbance or indecision,
we can pause, ask for quiet, and in the stillness simply say:
'God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and wisdom to know the difference.

Thy will, not mine, be done.'"
~R. Rohr
