Its two A.M., can’t sleep because I am up worrying. I know I can’t really do much about it all but, I worry. I’ve always heard it said, don’t worry, pray. That certainly makes sense to me but, still I do it. 

The good news is that I no longer have to worry much about the things I do, because since coming into recovery and putting away the drink and everything else that would impair me, I am fairing much better. My anxiety has been greatly reduced by not causing so much turmoil all by myself! 

I guess like so many of my worries, the serenity prayer is my answer. I do not control most of these things. As my good friend Tom puts it, there is a God and it ain’t me. So tonight, let me place my concerns in the hands of our loving God and leave them there. He is the one in control and knows precisely what to do in every situation.

Amen
