Many people living in one day at a time recovery understand the need to pray. Needing to pray is often followed by the want to pray. We often need to pray because we need help and we often want to pray because we are grateful. The simple reality of acknowledging that we are not always in control is a humbling endeavor and in our humility we understand that God, the spirit, or the universe can do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. It leads us into relationship with the other and we discover the reality of our inextricable connection with other people. We understand that we don’t want to, nor should we believe we can, live healthy recovery all by ourselves. We understand when we pray it is not a solitary endeavor. When we understand this we we become a part of a one day at a time recovering community. It’s all grace. For this we are grateful. Peace
