If we had absolute faith in the power of God to keep us
from drinking and if we turned our drink problem entirely
over to God without reservations, we wouldn’t have to do
anything more about it. We’d be free from drink once and
for all. But since our faith is apt to be weak, we have
to strengthen and build up this faith. We do this in
several ways. One way is by going to meetings and
listening to others tell how they have found all the
strength they need to overcome drink. Is my faith being
strengthened by this personal witness of other alcoholics?
Meditation For The Day
It is the quality of my life that determines its value.
In order to judge the value of a man’s life, we must set
up a standard. The most valuable life is one of honesty,
purity, unselfishness, and love. All men’s lives must be
judged by this standard in order to determine their value
to the world. By this standard, most of the so-called
heroes of history were not great men. “What shall it profit
a man if he gain the whole world, if he loseth his own
soul?”
Prayer For The Day
I pray that I may be honest, pure, unselfish and loving.
I pray that I may make the quality of my life good by
these standards.
