Material and Spiritual Wellbeing – Daily Reflection

I’m in a meeting online

Just ordered a bottle, Bacardi

I’ll reset my sobriety date

Got my work cut out for me


I’ve been blessed, beyond blessed

To see the ways that I err

I pray for guidance above

Holy Spirit, keep me here on earth, not under



That place of self destruction

That place of no return

God, teach me how to grow in You

Encourage my willingness to learn


I didn’t come from money

The world can be quite unfair

But my desperation to rise from this graveyard

Might be really rare



I dream of making millions

I wish to one day be wealthy

So all of my perceived troubles

Can promptly and completely leave me


Unfortunately, I never realized

Wholehearted faith was need first

I continue my search for answers from above

More than for this bottle for which I thirst

When I was making money (briefly)

Thought it would make me happy; secure

Instead, within this bottle

Life became a total blur



Now I know material wellbeing

Comes after spiritual healing

At the time, however, I couldn’t seem to shake

My irrational, anxious feelings

Today I try to use

The numerous gifts God gave me

To bring truth where there is doubt

Where there is discord, I wish to bring harmony

Lord, make me a channel of Thy peace

Where there is hatred I may bring love

Continue raining blessings on me

From the beautiful skies above



I pray to find comfort everlasting

In You, not this hopeless bottle

May I find hope and peace and calm

Within You, whom I follow

Nowadays money means very little

I give when I am able

I expect nothing in return

I wish only to be spiritually stable

Amen
