"One of the men stopped me and said, 'How do you pray?' I said that I asked God not to take her, but to take me. He then said, 'Why don't you ask that God give you the strength and courage to accept His will? Say, "Thy will, not mine, be done."'
"Yes, that was the first time
in my life that I prayed for His will be done. As I look back, I see that I had
always asked God to do things my way."

"...we then look at Step Six.
We have emphasized willingness as being indispensable. Are we now ready to
let God remove from us all the things which we have admitted are
objectionable? Can He now take them all-every one? If we still cling to
something we will not let go, we ask God to help us be
willing."

A.A. Thought for the Day
Strength
comes from the fellowship you find when you come into A.A. just being with men
and women who have found the way out gives you a feeling of security. You listen
to the speakers, you talk with other members, and you absorb the atmosphere of
confidence and hope that you find in the place. Am I receiving strength from the
fellowship with other AA. members?
Meditation for the
Day
God is with you,
to bless and help you. His spirit is all around you. Waver not in your faith or
in your prayers. All power is the Lord's. Say that to yourself often and
steadily. Say it until your heart sings with joy for the safety and personal
power that it means to you. Say it until the very force of the utterance drives
back and puts to naught all the evils against you. Use it as a battle cry. All
power is the Lord's. Then you will pass on to victory over all your sins and
temptations, and you will begin to live a victorious
life.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that
with strength from God I may lead an abundant life. I pray that I may lead a
life of victory.
