GOING WITH THE FLOW
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him... . TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 96
The first words I speak when arising in the morning are, 'Arise, O God, to do Thy will.' This is the shortest prayer Know and it is deeply ingrained in me. Prayer doesn't change God's attitude toward me; it changes my attitude toward God. As distinguished from prayer, meditation is quiet time, without words. To be centered is to be physically relaxed, emotionally calm, mentally focused and spiritually aware. One way to keep the channel open and to improve my conscious contact with God is to maintain a grateful attitude. On the days when I am grateful, good things seem to happen in my life. The instant I start cursing things inky life, however, the flow of good stops. God did not interrupt the flow; my own negativity did.
