Calling all Sharing Partners
It is clear we cannot do the steps alone. We need to share
the guidance we receive during our "quiet time" (Step Eleven) with another
person. But, how do we decide who that person is to be?
The How To Listen To God book provides us with some guidelines for
choosing a sharing partner. They are:
The person must inspire trust and be able
to keep confidence. Everything that is shared between the two of you must be kept strictly
confidential and not disclose to any party.
He or she must be willing to work with
you outside the meetings, either in person or over the telephone.
The sharing partner must be willing to
practice two-way prayer on a daily basis, and share guidance with you regularly.
The sharing partner is essential, because
as John Batterson writes in the How to listen to God pamphlet, "More light
comes in through two windows than one". We need your help. We are receiving more
requests for sharing partners than we can handle. If you'd like to be of service someone
who is just starting out on the spiritual journey of two-way prayer, please add your name
to the sharing partner list. You just might help change a life or two.
Email webmaster@aabacktobasics.org
and we'll add you to our list of sharing partners and make your email available to those
who need someone to talk to.
