> October 24: Have I put my life in the hands of God?
> This is October, the 10th month of the year;
> • The 10th Tradition reads: Alcoholics Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues; hence the A.A. name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
> • The 10th Step: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
> • The 10th Promise: Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us.

> Fourth, I have turned to a Power greater than myself. Thank God, I am no longer at the center of the universe. All the world does not revolve around me any longer. I am only one among many. I have a Father in heaven and I am only one of His children and a small one at that. But I can depend on Him to show me what to do and to give me the strength to do it. I am on the Way and the whole power of the universe is behind me when I do the right thing. I do not have to depend entirely on myself any longer. With God, I can face anything. Is my life in the hands of God?

> Meditation for the Day

> The grace of God is an assurance against all evil. It holds out security to the believing soul. The grace of God means safety in the midst of evil. You can be kept unspotted by the world through the power of His grace. You can have a new life of power. But only in close contact with the grace of God is its power realized. In order to renew it and benefit from it, you must have daily quiet communion with God, so that the power of His grace will come unhindered into your soul.

> Prayer for the Day
>
> I pray that I may be kept from evil by the grace of God. I pray that henceforth I will try to keep myself more unspotted by the world.

> The following is Excerpt No. 108 from As Bill Sees It : “Learn in Quiet”
>
> In 1941, a news clipping was called to our attention by a New York member. In an
> obituary notice from a local paper, there appeared these words: "God grant us the
> serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we
> can, & the wisdom to know the difference."
>
> Never had we seen so much A.A. in so few words. With amazing speed the
> Serenity prayer came into general use.
> A.A. Comes Of Age p-196
>
> In meditation, debate has no place. We rest quietly with the thoughts or prayers of
> spiritually centered people who understand, so that we may experience & learn. This
> is the state of being that so often discovers & deepens a conscious contact with God.
