I am the kind of person that "prays for God's Will and the Power to carry that out" Cofounder of AA BIll Wilson. Bill also speaks about praying for "knowledge of God's Will," for this Power, to be carry it out. It is selfish for me to think I know God's Will for me or anyone else. He is the Creator and the plan or system is His. I can only be an instrument of His Will. Sometimes more than I like, I find myself alone in my thinking. People says sometimes that I think I 'm better than them. Years later they say they are sorry and they apologize for their jealousy of me. By then I have been devastated by the loss of their friendship and blocking of me. What do you suggest. I know this is part of the plan. I know I need to accept it. The more I try to avoid conflict or disagreement the more it follows me. Now I need prayers that I be the child of God that He created and be strong and real as He made me. I'm Gay and fear rejection. I need to keep coming out and permit people to be who they are. I'm tired of being a chameleon.
