Prayer works if we have the proper attitude and work at it.
Ever wondered how prayer and meditation could change your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald dives into the transformative power of these practices. While Alcoholics Anonymous suggests prayer and meditation as crucial steps, many find it tough to stick to a routine.
Joe shares that the key lies in cultivating an attitude of love and tolerance and making a genuine effort to follow the guidance of a Higher Power, even when it's not what we had in mind. He acknowledges that many fall into the habit of 'foxhole prayers', only turning to prayer in moments of crisis. But for true transformation, Joe advocates for making prayer and meditation a daily practice.
Start small, he suggests, with a simple morning and evening prayer, and gradually build up to longer meditation sessions. One major hurdle, according to Joe, is our ego. It craves control and resists surrendering to a Higher Power. Yet, letting go of this need for control is essential to unlocking the full benefits of prayer and meditation. By surrendering, we open ourselves to guidance from a greater source.
This episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that with the right attitude and consistent effort, prayer and meditation can become powerful tools in your recovery arsenal. If you're struggling with incorporating these practices into your daily life, Joe's insights offer hope and practical advice. Tune in to hear more about how you can make these practices work for you.
