Letting Someone Help – Day 7

February 10, 2023


An acquaintance is one of the most brilliant doctors I know. It’s almost miraculous, the way he works.

“I’m responsible for what I do, and I feel good about my work,” he said. “But I humbly recognize that it’s not me. It’s a Higher Power thing.”

Prayer: Open me up so I can receive help from other people and so you can work through me too. Help me learn that I don’t have to do it alone, no matter how alone I feel. Show me that even if I can do it myself, sometimes I can do it better with help.

From the book: 52 Weeks of Conscious Contact
