AA Thought for the Day:

To grasp the AA program, we have to think things out. Saint Paul said: “They are transformed by the renewing of their minds.” We have to learn to think straight. We have to change from alcoholic thinking to sober thinking. We must build up a new way of looking at things. Before we came into AA, we wanted an artificial life of excitement and everything that goes with drinking. That kind of a life looked normal to us then. But as we look back now, that life looks the exact opposite of normal. In fact, it looks most abnormal. We must re-educate our minds. Am I changing from an abnormal thinker to a normal thinker?

Meditation for the Day:

I will take the most crowded day without fear. I believe that God is with me and controlling all. I will let confidence be the motif running through the crowded day. I will not get worried, because I know that God is my helper. Underneath are the everlasting arms. I will rest in them, even though the day be full of things crowding in on me.

Prayer for the Day:

I pray that I may be calm and let nothing upset me. I pray that I may not let material things control me and choke out spiritual things.
