Random Reflection
In yesterday’s blog, I shared an experience that changed my belief in God and the power of prayer forever.
About ten years after my life-changing prayer moment, through my own stupidity, I began a journey into drug addiction. As I noted in the opening quote, belief in God does not get in our way of making poor decisions.
My drug addiction journey lasted about five years–five years where I slowly turned my back on God and wanted nothing to do with Him.
Then, as I lay flat on my back in a bed of horse manure called “rock bottom,” in pure desperation, I prayed/begged/yelled the most powerful prayer known to mankind, “God help me.”
Less than twenty-four hours later, I was in a treatment center, beginning to thaw out from my drug and alcohol use disorders.
I’ve prayed every day since.
God hasn’t always answered prayers the way I wanted him to, but through my willingness to pray, I keep getting stronger in my belief and trust in Him and growing more distant between the times I do stupid things.
James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.”
