. . . harboring resentment is infinitely grave. For then we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of the spirit. AS BILL SEES IT, p. 5
I'm going to get down on my knees and pray to overcome this resentment towards my MIL.

There are many things that can shut me out of the sunlight of the spirit, but I sincerely believe that resentment is one of the worst offenders. Let no one steal your peace. Scout
totally serious, unless she is that much of a troll that asking would cause a huge flare up.
just a thought. I have a friend in the program who whines ocnstantly about the same ol same ol (Ms. S.) and often to counteract her negative vibes I cut her off with a request to pray with me.
By harbouring Resentment, Fear and Anger I had shut myself off from the Sunlight of The Spirit. Like a covering of sludge on a beautiful sandy beach. By taking my personal inventory in step 4, I have seen where I am to blame for my resentments, and where I have been selfish, dishonest, self seeking and frightened.I can now ask God to remove my fear, to save me from becoming angry, and for His Will, not mine, to be done. Now I can begin to see the beautiful beach unnderneath the sand, and feel the rays of sunlight that break through the dark clouds of Fear and Resentment. If I dont do this, the insanity of alcohol will return again, and I will drink again. And with me to drink is to die.
