> July 22--There is a direct linkage among self-examination meditation, & prayer. Taken separately, these practices can bring much relief & benefit. But when they are logically related & interwoven, the result is an unshakable foundation for life.

> This is July, the 7th month of the year;
> • The 7th Tradition: Every A.A. group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
> • The 7th Step: Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
> • The 7th Promise: We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows.

> One of the finest things about A.A. is the diversity of its membership. We come from all walks and stations of life. All types and classes of people are represented in an A.A. group. Being different from each other in certain ways, we can each make a different contribution to the whole. Some of us are weak in one respect, but strong in another. A.A. can use the strong points of all its members and can disregard their weaknesses. A.A. is strong, not only because we all have the same problem, but also because of the diversified talents of its members. Each person can contribute part. Do I recognize the good points of all my group's members?

> Meditation for the Day

> "And greater works than these shall ye do." Each individual has the ability to do good works through the power of God's spirit. This is the wonder of the world, the miracle of the earth, that God's power goes out to bless the human race through the agency of so many people who are actuated by His grace. We need not be held back by doubt, despondency, and fear. A wonderful future can lie before any person who depends on God's power, a future of unlimited power to do good works.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may not limit myself by doubting. I pray that I may have confidence that I can be effective for good.
