Lord, make me a channel of thy peace. That where there is hatred, I may bring love. That where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness. That where there is discord, I may bring harmony.
Ever wondered how prayer and meditation can help you on your journey to sobriety? In this episode of 'Sober Speak', John M takes a deep dive into Step 11, which focuses on prayer and meditation. He introduces the Saint Francis Prayer, a beautiful piece often used in this step, and breaks down its meaning line by line. This prayer isn't just about reciting words; it's about embracing selflessness, forgiveness, and love in your daily life.
John explains how these principles can bring peace and harmony, not just to your recovery journey but to your overall well-being. By learning to forgive others and yourself, you open the door to healing and personal growth. The episode also highlights the importance of putting others' needs before your own, seeking to comfort rather than be comforted, and understanding rather than being understood.
It's a heartfelt reminder that sobriety is not just about abstaining from alcohol but about nurturing a loving and peaceful mindset. If you're looking for a way to deepen your recovery practice or simply want to find more tranquility in your life, this episode is a must-listen.
