Thursday, March 6, 2014 You are reading from the book Twenty Four Hours a Day Thought for the Day In A.A. we must surrender, give up, admit that were helpless. We surrender our lives to God and ask Him for help. When He knows that were ready, He gives us by His grace the free gift of sobriety. And we cant take any credit for having stopped drinking, because we didnt do it by our own willpower. Theres no place for pride or boasting. We can only be grateful to God for doing for us what we could never do for ourselves. Do I believe that God has made me a free gift of the strength to stay sober? Meditation for the Day I must work for God, with God, and through Gods help. By helping to bring about a true fellowship of human beings, I am working for God. I am also working with God because this is the way God works, and He is with me when I am doing such work. I cannot do good work, however, without Gods help. In the final analysis, it is through the grace of God that any real change in human personality takes place. I have to rely on Gods power, and anything I accomplish is through His help. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may work for God and with God. I pray that I may be used to change human personalities through Gods help. From Twenty-Four Hours a Day © 1975 by Hazelden Foundation.
