> April 29-- I pray for the willingness to be harmless and useful:
> This is April, the 4th month of the year;
> • The 4th Tradition: Each group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or A.A. as a whole.
> • The 4th Step: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
> • The 4th Promise: We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know peace.

> The A.A. program is one of faith, hope, and charity. It's a program of hope because when new members come into A.A., the first thing they get is hope. They hear older members tell how they had been through the same kind of hell that they have and how they found the way out through A.A. And this gives them hope that if others can do it, they can do it. Is hope still strong in me?

> Meditation for the Day

> The rule of God's kingdom is perfect order, perfect harmony, perfect supply, perfect love, perfect honesty, perfect obedience. There is no discord in God's kingdom, only some things still unconquered in God's children. The difficulties of life are caused by disharmony in the individual man or woman. People lack power because they lack harmony with God and with each other. They think that God fails because power is not manifested in their lives. God does not fail. People fail because they are out of harmony with Him.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may be in harmony with God and with other people. I pray that this harmony will result in strength and success.
