AA's motto "But For The Grace Of God" means that we become humble about the achievements of our program. We do not take too much credit for our sobriety. This reading from "24 Hours A Day" (Sept. 8th) leads us to ask ourselves: "Am I truly grateful for the grace of God?" The meditation reminds us that there is freedom and love for those who walk in their Higher Power's care and the prayer for the day helps us to ask for that reminder every day.

24 hours a day.

AA thought for the day.

Another of the mottos of AA is,

But for the grace of God.

Once we have fully accepted the program,

We become humble about our achievement.

We do not take too much credit for our sobriety.

When we see another suffering alcoholic in the throes of alcoholism,

We say to ourselves,

But for the grace of God there go I.

We do not forget the kind of people we were.

We remember those we left behind us.

And we are very grateful to the grace of God which has given us another chance.

Am I truly grateful for the grace of God?

Meditation for the day.

A consciousness of God's presence as one who loves you makes all life different.

The consciousness of God's love promotes the opening of your whole being to God.

It brings wonderful relief from the cares and worries of our daily lives.

Relief brings peace,

And peace brings contentment.

Try to walk in God's love.

You will have that peace which passes all understanding and a contentment that no one can take from you.

Feel sure of God's unfailing love and care for you and for all His children.

There is freedom and serenity in those who walk in God's love,

Held safe in His loving care.

Prayer for the day.

I pray that I may walk in God's love.

I pray that as I go,

I may feel the spring of God's power in my steps and the joy of His love in my heart.
