*~*~*^Twenty Four Hours A Day^*~*~*

A.A. Thought for the Day

Let us continue with Steps Two, Three, and Eleven. We must turn to
a Higher Power for help, because we are helpless ourselves. When we
put our drink problem in God's hands and leave it there, we have made
the most important decision of our lives. From then on, we trust God
for the strength to keep sober. This takes us off the center of the
universe and allows us to transfer our problems to a Power outside
ourselves. By prayer and meditation, we seek to improve our conscious
contact with God. We try to live each day the way we believe God
wants us to live. Am I trusting God for the strength to stay sober?

Meditation for the Day

"These things have I spoken unto you, that your joy may be full."
Even a partial realization of the spiritual life brings much joy. You
feel at home in the world when you are in touch with the Divine Spirit
of the universe. Spiritual experience brings a definite satisfaction.
Search for the real meaning of life by following spiritual laws. God
wants you to have spiritual success and He intends that you have it.
If you live your life as much as possible according to spiritual laws,
you can expect your share of joy and peace, satisfaction and success.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I will find happiness in doing the right thing. I pray that
I will find satisfaction in obeying spiritual laws.
