March 13, 2015 - Readings in Recovery: Twenty-Four Hours a Day

The Serenity Prayer
Twenty-Four Hours a Day
Friday, March 13, 2015
 
AA Thought for the Day
We've got rid of our false, drinking selves and found our real, sober selves. And we turn to God, our Father, for help, just as the Prodigal Son arose and went to his father. At the end of the story, the father of the Prodigal Son says, "He was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found." We alcoholics who have found sobriety in AA were certainly dead and are alive again. We were lost and are found.

Am I alive again?

Meditation for the Day
Gently breathe in God's spirit, that spirit which, if not barred out by selfishness, will enable you to do good works. This means rather that God will be enabled to do good works through you. You can become a channel for God's spirit to flow through you and into the lives of others. The works that you can do will only be limited by your spiritual development. Let your spirit be in harmony with God's spirit and there is no limit to what you can do in the realm of human relationships.

Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may become a channel for God's spirit. I pray that God's spirit may flow through me into the lives of others.
