It’s been proved that we alcoholics can’t get sober by our
willpower. We’ve failed again and again. Therefore I believe
there must be a Higher Power which helps me. I think of that
power as the grace of God. And I pray to God every morning
for the strength to stay sober today. I know that power is
there because it never fails to help me. Do I believe that
AA. works through the grace of God?
Meditation For The Day
Once I am “born of the spirit,” that is my life’s breath.
Within me is the life of life, so that I can never perish.
The life that down the ages has kept God’s children through
peril, adversity, and sorrow. I must try never to doubt or
worry, but follow where the life of the spirit leads. How
often, when little I know it, God goes before me to prepare
the way, to soften a heart, or to overrule a resentment. As
the life of the spirit grows, natural wants become less
important.
Prayer For The Day
I pray that my life may become centered in God more than in
self. I pray that my will may be directed toward doing His will.
