Spiritual
power is the power to do good. It's the power to pray, to talk to God, to
listen to him, to follow his instructions. We don't have to do it; it's up
to us. Matthew King
Lakota Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious
contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His
will for us and the power to carry that out. Big Book pg. 59 When a man or woman has a spiritual awakening, the most important
meaning of it is that he has now become able to do, feel, and believe that
which he could not do before on his unaided strength and resources alone.
He has been granted a gift which amounts to a new state of consciousness
and being. He
has been set on a path which tells him he is really going somewhere, that
life is not a dead end, not something to be endured or mastered. In a very
real sense he has been transformed, because he has laid hold of a
source of strength which he had hitherto denied
himself. Twelve Steps & Twelve Traditions pgs. 106 &
107 Great Spirit help us to wake up our spiritual selves.
