> We in A.A. are offering a spiritual program. The fundamental basis
> of A.A. is belief in some Power greater than ourselves. This belief
> takes us off the center of the universe and allows us to transfer
> our problems to some power outside of ourselves. We turn to this
> Power for the strength we need to get sober and stay sober. We put
> our drink problem in God’s hands and leave it there. We stop trying
> to run our own life and seek to let God run it for us. Do I do my
> best to give spiritual help?
>
> Meditation for the Day
> God is your healer and your strength. You do not have to ask Him to
> come to you. He is always with you in spirit. At your moment of
> need He is there to help you. Could you know God’s love and His des
> ire to help you, you would know that He needs no pleading for help.
> Your need is God’s opportunity. You must learn to rely on God’s
> strength whenever you need it. Whenever you feel inadequate to any
> situation, you should realize that the feeling inadequacy is disloya
> lty to God. Just say to yourself: I know that God is with me and wi
> ll help me to think and say and do the right thing.
>
> Prayer for the Day
> I pray that I may never feel inadequate to any situation. I pray
> that I may be buoyed up by the feeling that God is with me.
