Ive talked alot about praying for the ones that have hurt me in the  past as well as the present.   I found this an awsome task cause to some degree it almost involves everyone Ive ever known and know today.   Ive also hurt alot of those same  people myself quite often it was what I did that sparked there unpleasant reaction but then I only rememberd what they did not what I did to cause them to react that way in the first place convinient huh.

   The list is so long that to sit and just name the ones Im going to pray for takes quite a bit of time.   Ive discovered that the best thing to do is pray for them only when I feel again the pain of what that individual did and I usualy find theres only one that I feel resentful towards at any given time,  the rest of them are really nothing more than a bad memory and  Im not refeeling the pain of what they did to me provoked or unprovoked.   To just pray for the individual or individuals as I actualy feel the pain is proving to be much more liberating and freeing than trying to pray for a myriad of people most of whom I feel nothing towards any more either good bad or indifferent.

   So now Im just keeping it simple Im praying only for the ones I still feel pain over past and present and its working it really is working even as I write this I cant think of anyone Im truly resentful towards right now atal and that is freeing me up mentaly emotionaly and spiritualy cause as it says in the 11th step prayer in the AA twelve by twelve,  it is by forgiving that one is forgiven and so the more I pray for these individuals and find forgivenes towards them Im forgiven and am brought closer to my Higher Power and the two things go hand in hand

Sometimes Im so caught up in complicating things that I simply miss the simplicity of this program

I wish for you all enduring friendships an end to hostility and all the best in life love happiness peace and contentment
