> This is November, the 11th month of the year;
> • The 11th Tradition reads: Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion; we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films.
> • The 11th Step: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
> • The 11th Promise: We will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle us.

> I have hope. That magic thing that I had lost or misplaced. The future looks dark no more. I do not even look at it, except when necessary to make plans. I try to let the future take care of itself. The future will be made up of todays and todays, stretching out as short as now and as long as eternity. Hope is justified by many right nows, by the rightness of the present. Nothing can happen to me that God does not will for me. I can hope for the best, as long as I have what I have and it is good. Have I hope?

> Faith is the messenger that bears your prayers to God. Prayer can be like incense, rising ever higher and higher. The prayer of faith is the prayer of trust that feels the presence of God which it rises to meet. It can be sure of some response from God. We can say a prayer of thanks to God every day for His grace, which has kept us on the right way and allowed us to start living the good life. So we should pray to God with faith and trust and gratitude.

> The following is Excerpt No. 23 from As Bill Sees It : “Worshipers All”
>
> We found that we had indeed been worshipers. What a state of mental goose flesh
> that used to bring on! Had we not variously worshiped people, sentiment, things money,
> & ourselves?
>
> And then, with a better motive, had we not worshipfully beheld the sunset, the sea,
> or a flower? Who of us had not loved something or somebody? Were not these things
> the tissue out of which our lives were constructed? Did not these feelings, after all,
> determine the course of our existence?
>
> It was impossible to say we had no capacity for faith, or love, or worship. In one
> form or another, we had been living by faith & little else.
