April is the 4th month, lets look at the 4th step. Step 4: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Matthew 7:5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brothers eye. This step proves that it is time to stop blaming others for our problems. It is about seeing truthfully and fully.

A Prayer for St Patrick’s Day May the Strength of God pilot us. May the Power of God preserve us. May the Wisdom of God instruct us.... May the Hand of God protect us. May the Way of God direct us. May the Shield of God defend us. May the Host of God guard us Against the snares of the evil ones, Against temptations of the world. May Christ be with us! May Christ be before us! May Christ be in us, Christ be over all! May Thy Salvation, Lord, Always be ours, This day, O Lord, and evermore. Amen. See more

March, the third month of the year, time to ponder the third step of the twelve steps. The best place to start is the Third Step Prayer.

Mark 12:31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these." "I have never seen a person grow or change in a constructive direction when motivated by guilt ,shame and/or hate." William Goldberg

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. Joshua 1:9

What is your cage today? Mathew 16:19 " I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you lose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

Praying It doesn’t have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; justpay attention, then patch a few words together and don’t try to make them elaborate, this isn’t a contest but the doorway into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak. Mary Oliver

Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness;come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever, his faithfulness continues through all generations. Psalm 100

By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15

Stop picking on yourself, worrying if you’re good enough, wondering what people will see if you let them see your heart. #melodybeattie #inspiratinalquote #loveyourself #personalgrowth
