Prayer When Confused Lord, I desire to be clear-minded in a time when deceit and deception floods into my minds from so many quarters, and so I pray that you endow me with your wisdom, so that I may not be tossed about by the many winds of challenges and troubles of the world that can cause confusion, and distort the truth. Amen ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Thought The way of faith is, of course, not confined to A.A. It is for everybody who really wants to live. But many people can go through life without much of it. Many are doing so, to their own sorrow. The world is full of lack of faith. Many people have lost confidence in any meaning in the universe. Many are wondering if it has any meaning at all. Many are at loose ends. Life has no goal for many. They are strangers in the land. They are not at home. But for us in A.A., the way of faith is the way of life. We have proved by our past lives that we could not live without it. So ............ Do I think I could live happily without faith? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Contemplation Volunteering The most precious time we will ever have we give away by doing volunteer chores to help others get more out of life. There is no material wage for this kind of work, but a host of emotional rewards. What great humility this can bring to us, who live in a world where selfish people often insist on credit for all their deeds - often things they had nothing to do with. All we need to do is think of all we have received without deserving it or asking for it. By taking part in the giving end of life, we find the true wealth of our own generosity. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Fear For all its usual destructiveness, we have found that fear can be the starting point for better things. Fear can be a stepping-stone to prudence and to a decent respect for others. It can point the path to justice, as well as to hate. And the more we have respect and justice, the more we shall begin to find the love which can suffer much, and yet be freely given. So fear need not always be destructive, because the lessons of its consequences can lead us to positive values. ~ Bill W. The Language of the Heart, April 2014 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Just a Quote "What goes around comes around. I will look for the opportunities to be kind and feel the results." ~ Karen Casey
