This insight is reiterated in Chapter 5 of the Big Book, which reads, “God could and would if he were sought” (Alcoholics Anonymous). Are we seeking God today in all that we do? Or are we seeking the approval of others? This is why it’s important to continually examine our motives with a daily moral inventory. And when our motives are to please God, we find that God blesses us abundantly, gracing us with relief from our addictions and unhealthy attachments. 

Reflection Questions

• Do you have a conscious contact with God? How can you involve God in all of your decisions today?
• What gifts from recovery and the Church can you use to ensure you’re seeking God in all that you do?
