> June 28–“Your attitude toward [problems] can be changed by putting yourself and your problems in God's hands and trusting Him to see that everything will turn out all right, provided you are trying to do the right thing.”
>
> This is June, the 6th month of the year;
> • The 6th Tradition: An A.A. group ought never endorse, finance, or lend the A.A. name to any related facility or outside enterprise, lest problems of money, property, and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
> • The 6th Step: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
> • The 6th Promise: That feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.

> A.A. Thought for the Day
> You can prove to yourself that life is basically and fundamentally an inner attitude. Just try to remember what troubled you most a week ago. You probably will find it difficult to remember. Why then should you unduly worry or fret over the problems that arise today? Your attitude toward them can be changed by putting yourself and your problems in God's hands and trusting Him to see that everything will turn out all right, provided you are trying to do the right thing. Your changed mental attitude toward your problems relieves you of their burden and you can face them without fear. Has my mental attitude changed?

> Meditation for the Day
>
> You cannot see the future. It's a blessing that you cannot. You could not bear to know all the future. That is why God only reveals it to you day by day. The first step each day is to lay your will before God as an offering, ready for God to do what is best for you. Be sure that, if you trust God, what He does for you will be for the best. The second step is to be confident that God is powerful enough to do anything He wills, and that no miracle in human lives is impossible with Him. Then leave the future to God.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may gladly leave my future in God's hands. I pray that I may be confident that good things will happen, as long as I am on the right path.

> Lord, make me an instrument of Your
> peace.
> Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
> Where there is injury, pardon;
> Where there is doubt, faith;
> Where there is despair, hope;
> Where there is darkness, light;
> and where there is sadness, joy.
> O Divine Master, grant that I may not so
> much seek to be consoled as to console;
> To be understood, as to understand;
> To be loved, as to love;
> For it is in giving that we receive;
> It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
> And it is in dying that we are born to
> eternal life.

> A different take on this prayer is framed and hung in the front lobby of Mother Theresa’s Nirmala Shishu Bhavan, the children’s home in Calcutta:
>
> People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; ...Forgive them anyway.
> If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; ...Be kind anyway.
> If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; ...Succeed anyway.
> If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; ...Be honest and frank anyway.
> What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; ...Build anyway.
> If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; ...Be happy anyway.
> The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; ...Do good anyway.
> Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; ...Give the world the best you've got anyway.
> You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
