I will discipline myself. I will do this disciplining now. I will turn out all useless thoughts. I know that the goodness of my life is a necessary foundation for its usefulness. I will welcome this training, for without it, God cannot give me His power. I believe that this power is a mighty power when it is used in the right way.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I will face and accept whatever discipline is necessary and that I will be fit to receive God's power in my life.
Amen
~Today's Inspiration~
I know my new life will not be immune from difficulties, but I will have peace even in difficulties. I know that serenity results from faithful, trusting acceptance of God's will, even in problems. Saint Paul said: "Our light afflictions, which are but for a moment, work for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."
~Today's Inspiration~
I will pray only for strength and that God's will be done. I will use God's unlimited store of strength for my needs. I will seek God's will for me. I will strive to be conscious of God's presence, for He is the world's light. I have become a pilgrim who needs only marching orders, strength, and guidance for this day.
~Prayer Message Today~
I pray that I may seek God's guidance day by day. I pray that I may strive to abide in God's presence.
'Amen'
~Inspiration~
I will thank God for everything, even the seeming trials and worries. I will strive to be grateful and humble. My whole attitude toward the Higher Power will be one of gratitude. I will be glad for the things I have received. I will pass on what God reveals to me. I believe that more truths will flow in as I go along in the new way of life.
~Prayer for the Day~
Thank God for this day at hand.
I pray that I may be grateful for the things I have received and do not deserve and that this will make me truly humble.
Amen
Praise God
~Inspiration for the Day~
I believe that my life is being refined like gold in a crucible. Gold does not stay in the crucible, only until it is refined. I will never despair or be despondent. I now have friends who long for me to conquer. If I should err or fail, it would cause pain and disappointment to them. I will keep trying to live a better life.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may always call on God's strength, while the gold of my life is being refined. I pray that I may see it through,
with God's help.
'Amen'

For many years my daily reading has come from this little black book. And many outside of AA have come to find
this book is an extremely significant part of their lives because it can be applied to life in general!
~Inspiration~ Thought for the Day
I will learn to overcome myself because every blow to selfishness is used to shape the real, eternal, unperishable me. As I overcome myself, I gain that power that God releases in my soul. And I too will be victorious. It is not the difficulties of life that I must conquer, so much as my selfishness.
~Prayer for the Day~
Thank God for this day.
I pray that I may obey God, walk with Him, and listen to Him and that I may strive to overcome my own selfishness.
'I have shared many times about the harmful effects of harboring selfishness and/or self-centeredness. Selfishness
I believe to be one thing that can and will destroy the true character of one's own life. It is a 'cancer of the soul'.
It will take and take and take away the important things of life that bring happiness and a real feeling of well-being.
'Subtle it is, this selfishness, to the point of losing real love from the heart, since selfishness has no interest or
the need for the essentials of life, it alone has the power to bring untold disruptions and distractions that may
well leave one in untold misery and a disconnect from God and relationships and our greatest neglected resource... LOVE!
'Be assured, that personal experience is good, so long as something of value has been learned. I Thank God,
I have learned! I cannot do the learning for anyone, but I surely can share what I have learned, and that is...
"Bingo...believe I need God, OK"
