Daily Meditations From the A. A. Book: Twenty-Four Hours a Day
You are never alone with your struggles with addiction with God beside you!
All thoughts, meditations and prayers for the day, come from the 1975 edition of Twenty-Four Hours a Day published by Hazelden Publishing. It is a small booklet written for AA members.
“The Serenity Prayer”
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Thought for the Day
We are all looking for the power to overcome drinking. When we alcoholics come into A.A., our first question is: How do I get the strength to quit? At first, it seems to us that we will never get the necessary strength. We see older members who have found the power we are looking for, but we don’t know the process by which they got it. This necessary strength come in many ways. Have I found all the strength I need?
Meditation for the Day
You cannot have a spiritual need which God cannot supply. Your fundamental need is a spiritual need, the need of power to live the good life. The best Spiritual supply is received by you when you want it to pass on to other people. You get it largely by giving it away. God gives you strength as you pass it on to another person. That strength means increased health: increased health means more good work, and more good work means more people work, and more good work means more people helped. And so it goes on, a constant supply to meet all spiritual needs.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that my every spiritual need will be supplied by God. I pray that I may use the power I receive to help others.
