Thought of the day
"We believe that our Higher Power will take care of us."
----------------
Our program is based on the idea that the application of simple principles
can produce profound effects in our lives.
One such principle is that, if we ask, our Higher Power will care for us.
Because this principle is so basic, we may tend to ignore it.
Unless we learn to consciously apply this spiritual truth,
we may miss out on something as essential to our recovery
as breathing is to life itself.
What happens when we find ourselves stressed or panicked?
If we have consistently sought to improve our relationship
with our Higher Power, we'll have no problem.
Rather than acting rashly, we will stop for a moment and briefly remind
ourselves of particular instances in the past when our
Higher Power has shown its care for us.
This will assure us that our Higher Power is still in charge of our lives.
Then, we will seek guidance and power for the situation
at hand and proceed calmly, confident that our lives are in God's hands.
"Our program is a set of principles," our White Booklet tells us.
The more consistently we seek to improve our conscious appreciation
of these principles, the more readily we will be able to apply them.
Committment for the Day
I will listen to my conscience and do what's right.
I will seek to improve my conscious contact with my Higher Power.
When the need arises, I know I will be able to trust in that care.
