Start the Day with Step 11

Step 11 is a daily spiritual discipline. We seek through prayer meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand him. We are asking for knowledge of his will for us and the power to carry it out.

On awakening let me think about the upcoming day. I ask the Holy Spirit to guard my thinking. I asked that my mind be void of self-centeredness, fear, unforgiveness and doubt. Under these conditions I can operate with assurance. I am in less danger of morbid reflections and wrongful motives.

I pray that all through the day I'll be shown which next step to take. That the Lord will provide easy flow into his will. And I will not pound down doors that may lead to futility and unhappiness for myself and those around me.

I see that the soil that sprouts the seed of sin is wrongful thinking and negative emotions.
