Many people living in one day at a time recovery feel a sense of a lack of faith when we become afraid because of an abrupt change or bad news in regards to health events or diagnosis for either ourselves or a loved one. We turn to other recovering people who were in similar situations asking them if they too were afraid. In such situations they tell us that of course they were afraid and for anyone in such situations of course they’ll be afraid. So now we will know – of course we’ll be afraid. Many of us pray at such times using centering prayer as a way of coping with the fear in hopes that we or our loved ones will be okay. What we discover is we are experiencing universal feelings. They’re part of being human. Peace.
