AA * A New Life & Finding Strength In Quietness

Daily Reflections.

A New Life.

Yes,

There is a substitute and it is vastly more than that.

It is a fellowship in Alcoholics Anonymous.

Life will mean something at last.

From Alcoholics Anonymous,

Life is better without alcohol.

AA and the presence of a higher power keeps me sober,

But the grace of God does even better.

It brings service into my life.

Contact with the AA program teaches me a new and greater understanding of what Alcoholics Anonymous is and what it does.

But most importantly,

It helps to show me who I am.

An alcoholic who needs the constant experience of the Alcoholics Anonymous program so that I may live a life given to me by my higher power.

24 hours a day.

AA thought for the day.

We all realize that we know only a little.

God will constantly disclose more to all of us.

Ask him in your morning meditations what you can do for the person who is still sick.

The answers will come if your own house is in order.

See to it that your relationship with God is right and great events will come to pass for you and countless others.

Give freely of what you find in AA,

But obviously you cannot transmit something that you haven't got.

So make a life study of AA.

Am I always looking for ways of presenting the AA program?

Meditation for the day.

In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.

Confidence means to have faith in something.

We could not live without confidence in others.

When you have confidence in God's grace,

You can face whatever comes.

When you have confidence in God's love,

You can be serene and at peace.

You can rest in the faith that God will take care of you.

Try to rest in God's presence until his life power flows through you.

Be still and in that stillness the still small voice will come.

It speaks in quietness to the human mind that is attuned to its influence.

Prayer for the day.

I pray that I may find strength today in quietness.

I pray that I may be content today that God will take care of me.
