Step 11
Sought through Prayer and Meditation to improve my conscious contact With GOD, Praying only for knowledge of His Will and The POWER TO CARRY IT OUT
C2C:Every day I pray for knowledge of God's will. Then I try to trust that my prayer has been heard and believe  that at some point in my day. I will do God's will.

"God alone knows the secret plan of the things he will do for the world using my hand."
 
My share
 
 I started using this step very early in program,even  before  I completed the First Step . I felt that that  the most important portion of this step  was that  it pointed out  that  if I pray for God's will, I will get the power to carry that will  out .
 
 It also suggests that nothing will be asked of me  that will be impossible. I was well aware where my will took me and  the pain of  trying to force solutions was unbearable  I felt  that praying for HP's will,I may  risk not get my own way but I  finally accepted  that if I  trust that this power greater than myself,has my best interests at heart I will be OK .
 
 
Step 11 questions 

 

1.  Have you begun the discipline of prayer in your life? What does that consist of? What are your feelings and fears about praying, about talking to God? What time of day works best for prayer? Do you have a favorite place?

2.  How do you meditate? Do you like meditation books? Which are your favorites? When is you best time for reading a meditation? Do you like tapes? Have you experimented with any other forms of meditation?

3.  What other activities help you relax and get in touch with yourself?

4.  The next time you get stressed, instead of pushing harder, you might want to walk away from what you are doing and find a way to get quiet and centered. If you are at work, you may want to retreat into a private area-your office, if you have one, or even a bathroom will do. Breathe deeply, then let go of your thoughts, worries, and chaos. Allow peace and healing to enter your body. Stay with it as long as you can or
