“When I am able to accept the help of my Higher Power, it makes me feel capable of doing anything I am called upon to do.” (ODAT, 24 March)
It is a great axiom that, if something is God’s will for me
to do, it is doable by me, provided that I accept the help offered.
If I try and the results are poor, then I can accept that.
Maybe God’s will was me for to try and to obtain poor
results.
Maybe I did not apply enough attention or effort to the
task, or I went about it the wrong way.
Certainty is hard to obtain about this, but I can in any
case ask God what I can learn and to be redirected in similar, future
situations.
I then need give myself no further bother concerning the matter.
There’s never any place for any protracted remorse beyond the natural remorse flowing from the recognition I have done something wrong, which can promptly be turned into a desire to do things better in the future.
