False Evidence Appearing Real
If I look around in the world, I can find all the evidence I need to prove that I should stay in fear. It takes measure of trust and faith to not buy into the false evidence.
I can’t be in fear and faith at the same time.
Fear tells us that we are small, powerless, and separate.
Faith affirms that we are great, creative, and connected.
When I choose faith instead of fear, I am seeing the not-quite-so-obvious evidence before me. The miracles that are subtle that I get to be thankful for in the moment—a friend calling for help to get to a meeting, a text where I can reassure someone they can do this day sober, or just witnessing a beautiful sunrise or sunset that gives me hope.
All because I am sober and present to find the evidence for my faith to live this life sober.
I can—
Forget Everything And Run
or
Face Everything And Recover
Which voice do you choose to be your guide?
I am bigger than fear. I choose faith as I step forward and live in the light. Oh God, You paint the sky with miracles in mind. My tearful eyes joyfully receive the awesome stroke of your brush.
Thank you, God, for another day of sobriety so that I can see Your wonders before me every day.
If I can do it, so can you.
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
