My first sponsor told me there were two things to say about
prayer and meditation: first, I had to start and second, I had to
continue. When I came to A.A. my spiritual life was bankrupt; if I
considered God at all, He was to be called upon only when my self-will was
incapable of a task or when overwhelming fears had eroded my ego.
Today I am grateful for a new life, one in which my prayers are those of thanksgiving. My prayer time is more for listening than for talking. I know today that if I cannot change the wind, I can adjust my sail. I know the difference between superstition and spirituality. I know there is a graceful way of being right, and many ways to be wrong.
