Something just pop right out when I was reading today's message. When I attended A.A I heard this " Before you pick up a drink PRAY!!!!!"
So when I have a problem with my Obsessions or Compulsions I need to open the communications with God and other people.
Step 5 of Alcoholics Anonymous, commonly known as the “Confession” step, encourages members to acknowledge their struggles and whatever harm they caused to themselves and others in pursuit of alcohol. Step 5 of AA reads that one, “admitted to God, to oneself, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.”
Second half of the message reminded me of " The Parable of the Seed."
Jesus explains, “The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with the worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity” (Luke 8:14).
When I am obsessing about something or I have a compulsion to do something I need to confess and pray. Because if I don't I will be choked with the worries and riches and pleasures of this life. I want to have good fruit.
