> • The 11th Step: Sought through prayer and meditation to impr

> y for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
> • The 11th Promise: We will intuitively know how to handle si

> Continuing our thoughts about the rewards that have come to us as a
> result of our new way of living, we have found that we have gotten
> rid of any of our fears, resentments, inferiority complexes,
> negative points of view, self-centeredness, criticism of others,
> over sensitiveness, inner conflicts, the habits of procrastination,
> undisciplined sex, wasting money, boredom, false perfectionism,
> jealousy, and envy of others. We are glad to be rid of our drinking,
> and we are also very glad to be rid of these other things. We can
> now go forward in the new way of life, as shown us by A.A. Am I
> ready to go forward in the new life?

> "He that has eyes to see, let him see." To the Seeing Eye, the world
> is good. Pray for a Seeing Eye, to see the purpose of God in
> everything good. Pray for enough faith to see God's care in His
> dealings with you. Try to see how He has brought you safely through
> your past life so that now you can be of use in the world. With the
> eyes of faith you can see God's care and purpose everywhere.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may have a Seeing Eye. I pray that with the eye of
> faith I may see God's purpose everywhere.
