Sometimes my job can feel like a bit … much. Especially when I’m doing something new.

When I got into recovery, I heard people talk about relying on God. It sounded a bit churchy, and it sounded hard to pull off. But over time, the idea grew on me. What a relief to find out that relying on a Higher Power–rather than myself–is a normal, sane way of life. I’m not supposed to be able to figure it all out. I need a power greater than myself, and that doesn’t mean I’m not as capable as I should be; it means I’m a regular human.

Today I will keep this idea–perhaps using the acronym FROG for Fully Rely on God–in the background of my mind as I work. Maybe I will look for a picture or figurine of a frog to keep on my desk as a reminder. I will pray to be reminded of the need to pray.
