A.A. Thought for the Day
We
should be free from alcohol for good. It's out of our hands and in the
hands of God, so we don't need to worry about it or even think about it
anymore. But if we haven't done this honestly and fully, the chances are
that it will become our problem again. Since we don't trust God to take
care of the problem for us, we reach out and take the problem back to
ourselves. Then it's our problem again and we're in the same old mess we
were in before. We're helpless again and we drink. Do I trust God to
take care of the problem for me?
Meditation for the Day
No
work is of value without preparation. Every spiritual work must have
behind it much spiritual preparation. Cut short times of prayer and
times of spiritual preparation and many hours of work may be profitless.
From the point of view of God, one poor tool working all the time, but
doing bad work because of lack of preparation, is of small value
compared with the sharp, keen, perfect instrument working for only a
short time, but that turns out perfect work because of long hours of
spiritual preparation.
Prayer for the Day
I
pray that I may spend more time alone with God. I pray that I may get
more strength and joy from such times, so that they will add much to my
work.
