Every time we go to an A.A. meeting, every time we say the Lord’s
Prayer, every time we have a quiet time before breakfast, we’re
paying a premium on our insurance against taking that first drink. And
every time we help another alcoholic, we’re making a large payment
on our drink insurance. We’re making sure that our policy doesn’t
lapse. Am I building up an endowment in serenity, peace, and
happiness that will put me on easy street for the rest of my life?
Meditation For The Day
I gain faith by my own experience of God’s power in my life. The
constant, persistent recognition of God’s spirit in all my personal
relationships, the ever accumulating weight of evidence in support of
God’s guidance, the numberless instances in which seeming chance or
wonderful coincidence can be traced to God’s purpose in my life. All
these things gradually engender a feeling of wonder, humility, and
gratitude to God. These in turn are followed by a more sure and
abiding faith in God and His purposes.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that my faith may be strengthened every day. I pray that I may
find confirmation of my life in the good things that have come into my
life.
