A.A. Thought for the Day

"Outline the program of action to new prospects, explaining how you
made a self-appraisal, how you straightened out your past, and why
you are now endeavoring to help them. It is important for them to
realize that your attempt to pass this on to them plays a vital part
in your own recovery. The more hopeless they feel, the better. They
will be more likely to follow your suggestions. Tell them about the
fellowship of A.A. and if they show interest, lend them a copy of
the Big Book." Can I tell the A.A. story to another alcoholic?

Meditation for the Day

You should try to stand aside and let God work through you. You
should try not to block Him off by your own efforts, or prevent
His spirit working through you. God desires your obedient service
and your loyalty to the ideals of the new life you are seeking. If
you are loyal to God, He will give you protection against mistakes.
His spirit will plan for you and secure for you a sufficiency of
all spiritual help. You will have true victory and ml success, if
you will put yourself in the background and let God work through
you.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may not interfere with the working of God's spirit in
me and through me. I pray that I may give it full rein.
