AA *A Deep Conviction

This reading from Hazelden's "Little Black Book" (24 Hours A Day--Aug. 7th) raises a few ideas to us in recovery; First, it moves us to ask ourselves, "Do I consider the change in my life a modern miracle?" Then, the Meditation helps us to turn to our Greater Power and practice the saying, "All is going to be well." Lastly, the Prayer for the Day helps us to ask that nothing moves us from our deep convictions.

24 hours a day.

AA thought for the day.

We in AA are offering an intangible thing.

A psychological and spiritual program.

It's a wonderful program.

When we learn to turn to a higher power,

With faith that the power can give us the strength we need,

We find peace of mind.

When we re-educate our minds by learning to think differently,

We find new interests that make life worthwhile.

We,

Who have achieved sobriety through faith in God and mental re-education,

Are modern miracles.

It is the function of our AA program to produce modern miracles.

Do I consider the change in my life a modern miracle?

Meditation for the day.

You should never doubt that God's Spirit is always with you,

Wherever you are,

To keep you on the right path.

God's keeping power is never at fault,

Only your realization of it.

You must try to believe in God's nearness and availability of His grace.

It is not a question of whether God can provide a shelter from the storm,

But of whether or not you seek the security of that shelter.

Every fear,

Worry,

Or doubt is disloyalty to God.

You must endeavor to trust God wholly.

Practice saying,

All is going to be well.

Say it to yourself until you feel it deeply.

Prayer for the day.

I pray that I may feel deeply that all is well.

I pray that nothing will be able to move me from that deep conviction.
