IOCC August Question?

AUGUST QUESTION
"Whenever I find myself under acute tensions, I lengthen my daily walks and slowly repeat our Serenity Prayer in rhythm to my steps and breathing."
Grapevine, March 1962As Bill Sees It page 250
How does your prayer and meditation change while under acute tensions?

A lot of times it slacks off until I realize I have not taken the time to just be.
Then I remember where my answers lie in wait (With God)
Sometimes it just seems to be a walk through until I get to the other side
of the situation and then I see I was truly carried through but this is not
always the case as I am one to complain about it for a while and when the pain gets too great I see that I finally have to admit my powerlessness or change what I can and leave the results up to God.

My Own Spirituality and Beliefs

I am part of several online groups for recovery.
A few focus mainly on just Higher Power, and a couple have areas
that focus on specific Higher Powers.

Well the one area focuses on hymns even and the history of them.
I was sharing there of One Hymn That Truly touched me and in my
mind I could see me doing all the things I did when I last heard this
hymn. It Is Well With My Soul

I was standing up and I stretched my hands and arms up to God and
sang loudly and boldly with tears streaming down my face because
I finally understood with The God of My Understanding
It Truly is Well With My Soul- Very healing for me.

The next song I listened to I stopped everything and found I was again
raising my arms and hands to The God of My understanding and I felt peace.
The name of That Song was Welcome Holy Spirit and theres part that says
come and live inside of me.

These songs are very freeing for me and part of my recovery today.
They bring me to conscious contact and what I believe is The Holy Spirit.
I do not shove that down anyone else's throat but it has made such an impact
upon my life. I couldnt resist sharing it.
