Dear God, good morning. Today I started my day with a meeting at four a.m. I needed to share the ninth step prayer, which is the “Promises,” I also shared about my depression. Lola reached out to me and gave me another 24-hour zoom meeting. The meeting was God-like, and I thanked Lola. We’re friends on Facebook now, so I get to call her if I can’t reach Terri or my other girlfriends. Thank you, Lola.
Today, I don’t feel that heavy depression like I did in the past few days. I prayed and asked you for help, sweet Jesus. My depression lifted this morning. I feel so blessed, and you answered my prayers. The sun is out, birds are chirping, and I feel relieved that my mood of depression went away.
Today’s reading in the God’s Promises for every day speaks about “Jesus is your Fellowship.” Jesus, you started this fellowship of love, kindness, compassion, truth, understanding, strength, mercy, faith, and hope. It writes, “Does your life in Christ give you strength? Does he comfort you? Do we share together in the spirit? Do you have mercy and kindness? If so, make me very happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose.” Philippians 2:1 2
Yes, Jesus, you give me strength when I’m at my weakest moments. I prayed to you, and I feel strong today compared to yesterday. You do comfort me when you put your arms around me, and I feel at peace. In my fellowship, we share our experiences, strength, and hope. There are no rules in this fellowship. We identify with one another and help the wounded that enter the fellowship. We share about you, God, and how you help millions of people quit drinking alcohol and drugs. That’s a miracle!
In Ephesians, it writes: “In Christ, God has given us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly world.” I admit that I have had a spiritual awakening.
One morning I woke up so early that I went back to sleep. The next thing I knew, my dog Annie was barking at me in heaven. For real! The colors in heaven are a hundred times more colorful than on earth. Annie wanted to play ball. She jumped up and down, saying, “Mommy, let’s play ball.” She knew me, and I felt her love for me. She wasn’t in any pain. I miss her and love Annie so much. When I woke up from that dream, I couldn’t believe it. I was in Heaven with Annie-girl.
That is my spiritual awakening. I got to go to heaven and play with my Annie. People may not believe this experience. In our fellowship, we have a saying, “It’s none of my business what other people think of me.” I work on that phrase every day. Dear God, please help me to help myself. Please keep me away from the seven deadly sins. Please guide my heart and soul in your love. Love me
