A.A. Thought for the Day

"Outline the program of action to new prospects, explaining how you made a self appraisal, how you straightened out your past, and why you are now endeavoring to help them. It is important for them to realize that your attempt to pass this on to them plays a vital part in your own recovery. The more hopeless they feel, the better. They will be more likely to follow your suggestions. Tell them about the fellowship of A.A. and if they show interest, lend them a copy of the Big Book." Can I tell the A.A. story to another alcoholic?

Meditation for the Day

You should try to stand aside and let God work through you. You should try not to block God off by your own efforts, or prevent the spirit from working through you. God desires your obedient service and your loyalty to the ideals of the new life you are seeking. If you are loyal to God, you will be given protection against mistakes. God's spirit will plan for you and secure for you a sufficiency of all spiritual help. You will have true victory and real success if you will put yourself in the background and let God work through you.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may not interfere with the working of God's spirit in me and through me. I pray that I may give it full rein.
