Thought for the Day

I shall not wait to be drafted for service to A.A. I shall volunteer. I shall be loyal in my attendance, generous in my giving, kind in my criticism, creative in my suggestions, loving in my attitudes. I shall give to A.A. my interest, my enthusiasm, my devotion, and most of all, myself. Do I also accept this as my A.A. credo?

Meditation for the Day

Prayer is of many kinds, but of whatever kind, prayer is the linking up of the soul and mind to God. So, if prayer is only a glance of faith, a look or a word of love, or just a feeling of confidence in the goodness and purpose in the universe, still the result of that prayer is added strength to meet all temptations and to overcome them. Even if no supplication is expressed, all the supply of strength that is necessary is secured, because the soul, being linked and united to God, receives from Him all spiritual help needed. The soul, when in its human body, still needs the things belonging to its heavenly habitation.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may be taught how to pray. I pray that I may be linked through prayer to the mind and will of God.

I really liked the definition of prayer in this reading ("linking up of the soul and mind to God"). Sometimes I feel more "prayerful" when I'm not thinking/saying words at all, just turning my attention and quieting my mind.

Thanks, Veritas!

Sometimes I feel more connected when I am listening to a good Christian song. Listening to a Christian song is like hearing a Daily meditation to me. I just sing and ponder over the words which are always life changing. Christian songs seem to bring my heart closer to God.
