A DAY'S PLAN

On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives.

ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 86

Every day I ask God to kindle within me the fire of His love, so that love, burning bright and clear, will illuminate my thinking and permit me to better do His will. Throughout the day, as I allow outside circumstances to dampen my spirits, I ask God to sear my consciousness with the awareness that I can start my day over any time I choose; a hundred times, if necessary.

that I can start my day over any time I choose

This idea was new to me when I came into AA;
In the beginning I was sceptical
but now
it is one of the most handy tools I have!

Thanks Carol... my sponsor says I should be reading 86 everyday... I read it then skip over to the 3rd step prayer... I have to say I never caught that part about asking God to allow me to restart my day if it doesn't go well...

I perticulary like the phrasiology... "sear my consciousness with the awareness"

[Debaucher]

um... I had to grab my mini edition to find that line... and I don't see it... I take it that came from a book called "daily reflections"????

Yes, "Daily Reflections" is official AA literatue.

I bought the book from my AA group.

The reading I post here are from an on line
group .
