When we were drinking, we used to worry about the future.
Worry is terrible mental punishment. What’s going to
become of me? Where will I end up? In the gutter or the
sanitarium? We can see ourselves slipping, getting worse
and worse, and we wonder what the finish will be.
Sometimes we get so discouraged in thinking about the
future that we toy with the idea of suicide. In A.A.
have I stopped worrying about the future?
Meditation For The Day
Functioning on a material plane alone takes me away from
God. I must also try to function on a spiritual plane.
Functioning on a spiritual plane as well as on a material
plane will make life what it should be. All material
activities are valueless in themselves alone. But all
activities, seemingly trivial or of seemingly great moment,
are all alike if directed by God’s guidance. I must try to
obey God as I would expect a faithful, willing servant to
carry out directions.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that the flow of God’s spirit may come to me through
many channels. I pray that I may function on a spiritual
plane as well as on a material plane.
