Dvar Torah from a Torah 12 Step meeting

Zochrenu L' Chaim- Remember us for life-he who desires life.  Hashem wants to help us if we are willing to let him into our life.  The life that I was living was not working-we have to put down our addictions and constantly turn to Hashem and understand that Hashem can really change me.

Instead of focusing on our problems focus on asking Hashem to help us.

Then we have to look at ourselves, what is our part of the problem.  When we turn to Hashem it should be on a deeper level, honestly admitting our part of the problems.  We have to ask Hashem to help us let go of our negative traits, to be willing to change.

We have to remember that Hashem will not forgive us for the sins that we did to someone else until we ask them for forgiveness.

If we don't see Hashem it is not because he is far from us, it is because he is so close to us that we take it for granted.  We have to learn to look in to find Hashem.
