"We all wish good things to happen to us, but we cannot just pray and then sit down and expect miracles to happen.  We must back up our prayers with action."

Today's reading is about Step 4, taking a fearless, moral inventory of ourselves.  We needn't be scared, but I certainly was the first time.  Several years later I did them again and I just saw how much I had grown by facing my shortcomings in a positive way.  There is healing power in the Steps and most likely I will do them a third time.
