What some people living in one day at a time recovery get to understand is that letting go and letting God should lead us into the right direction of finding rest for our weary minds. Desperate and weary we’ve tried to follow the ball wherever it bounces to find rest for weary minds that belong not only to us but also to others who seek recovery with us in the rooms of recovery. We find ourselves continually trying to change both the past and the future often to no avail. Focusing on the present and the task at hand become a bit of relief. Prayers, one such being the Serenity Prayer, help us to accept our past. It also helps us to change what we can. This becomes the gift of radical acceptance. Although we can find a broken rest and a humble peace we accept this. We will have our regrets. It’s just that they no longer own us. We find rest for our weary minds and our souls. It’s called grace. Peace.
