Harbor Light – 2016/11

“Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.” My experience with the 11th step has been a slow and begrudging progression towards a working relationship with prayer, meditation, and nightly examination of my conduct. I would like to write that upon first reading step 11 with my sponsor and being given an outline for a nightly inventory and directions for morning prayer I immediately implemented these tools and have not stopped since; but unfortunately, as I was informed when asked to write this, I must tell the truth.
