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
Some more things I do not miss since becoming dry: Wondering if the car is in the garage and how I got home. Struggling to remember where I am and what I did since my last conscious moment. Trying to delay getting off to work, and wondering how I will look when I get there. Dreading the day ahead of me. I’m quite sure that I don’t miss these things, am I not?
Meditation for the Day
You cannot believe in God and keep your selfish ways. The self shrivels up and dies and upon the soul becomes stamped God’s image. The gradual elimination of selfishness in the growth of love for God and your fellow human beings is the goal of life. At first, you have only a faint likeness to the Divine, but the picture grows and takes on more and more of the likeness oGodod until those who see you can see in your some of the power of God’s grace at work in human life.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may develop the faint likeness I have to the Divine I pray that others may see in me some of the power of God’s grace at work.
