“Everybody nowadays, believes in scores of assumptions for which there is good evidence, but no perfect visual proof. And does not science demonstrate that visual proof is the weakest proof?”
-Alcoholics Anonymous p. 48
I depend on the internet. For home, I need the internet connection for all of my tv watching, computer usage, and even for my home phone. At work, most of the programs we use are web-based now. The students use iPads for the majority of their homework. It is no longer just power we need—but connection.
It surprises me that someone of my normal intelligence, who was savvy in my ability to understand most computer programs and adjust to teaching in the age of technology, could be so dense about my right dependence on a Higher Power. I was so attached to my own self-sufficiency and my ability to figure out problems on my own that I had no idea that a dependency on God, just as I was dependent on Wi-Fi and technology, was actually the answer to my living problems.
Today I know that the same power that flows through Wi-Fi signals, that flows through the electrical current—that same power flows through me. It is my Higher Power’s energy flow in my life that enables me to fully rely on him. I can rely on God in all times and in all circumstances. When I am afraid and confused his power gives me assurance. I will walk through all circumstances with his power inside me.
It is such a relief to not have to do it on my own anymore.
Today’s Prayer
God, thank you for your power. Your energy flows through my life and gives me so much hope.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night…
