> • The 11th Step: Sought through prayer and meditation to impr

> 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?

> Meditation for the Day
>
> 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.
>
> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may feel sure of some response to my prayers. I pray
> that I may be content with whatever form that response takes.
