Hi All,
Here is a link to the recordings from the meeting for week 19:
#^https://us02web.zoom.us/rec/share/Snv6E-lW1QWY208aTjvcDBvrsyDlRxJ8VORt9fpWaFV1VPpZs0CuTsSzbPOHYvQ.qYCjqjYrBnjfNhxr?startTime=1647187244000 The speaker view video, a gallery view video (just one page of the gallery is available), and audio recording are all available (you might have to download the files to watch other views than the speaker view).
Prayer for This Week:
God, I offer myself to Thee-to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!
God, please help me, and direct me to what I need to see about my conduct with the people closest to me in my life and my sexual partners, and how that is blocking me from relying on you.
God, please help me see the truth about my conduct. God please show me the right ideal, for guidance in each questionable situation, for sanity, and for the strength to do the right thing.
God, please enable me to set aside everything I think I know about taking inventory, for an open mind and a new experience.
God, please help me to show the people I resent the same tolerance, pity and patience I would cheerfully grant a sick friend.
God, help me see that I resent people because they are sick people, like me, and how I can be helpful to them.
God save me from being angry.
Thy will be done.
God, please show me how to take a kindly and tolerant view of everyone.
God, please remove my fear, and direct my attention to what you would have me be.
God, please mold my sex ideals, and help me live up to them.
God, what should I do about each specific matter.
God, please take me to better things.
Reading for this week:
Chapter 6, “Into Action” up to page 75 - We feel we are on the Broad Highway,
walking hand in hand with the Spirit of the Universe.
Keep looking for statements that suggest questions and consider what they mean to me.
Assignments: Make 2 appointments with someone from the workshop. Hopefully someone you have met in the workshop, and someone you don't know yet. This interaction is a major part of the work we do in this workshop. Discuss the experiences you are having.
Pray and seek direction about your sex ideal and write the ideal in the form of a prayer derived from the "what I should have done instead," sections from the sex/conduct inventory.
Read 5th step to people. Allow people to read 5th step to you.
Check the link here to people who are available, and read to people who you have met here. Get ready to listen to 5th step from people in the workshop, listen to 5th step if you can even if you have no experience previously in doing so. Try to read to someone with experience from the workshop or listen to recordings before people read to you.
Optional:
There are several recordings discussing how we do 5th step from the original 2020 workshop. We covered and did live inventory from recording 30 to 35. You can review all of these, or Joey suggested meeting 31 at 1:06 and meeting 30 in about 30 minutes.
