> A.A. Thought for the Day
>
> A.A. may be human in its organization, but it is divine in its purpose. The purpose is to point me toward God and the good life. My feet have been set upon the right path. I feel it in the depths of my being. I am going in the right direction. The future can be safely left to God. Whatever the future holds, it cannot be too much for me to bear. I have the Divine Power with me to carry me through everything that may happen. Am I pointed toward God and the good life?

> Meditation for the Day
>
> Although unseen, the Lord is always near to those who believe in Him and trust Him and depend on Him for the strength to meet the challenges of life. Although veiled from mortal sight, the Higher Power is always available to us whenever we humbly ask for it. The feeling that God is with us should not depend on any passing mood of ours; we should try to be always conscious of His power and love in the background of our lives.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may feel that God is not too far away to depend on for help. I pray that I may feel confident of His readiness to give me the power that I need.

> We had a new employer. Being all-powerful, he provided what we needed, if we

> Established on such a footing, we became less & less interested in ourselves, our

> As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we

> our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. We were reborn.
