Rarely does a chain break in a strong link. Only the weak links fail. If we fail this day-by-day program, it will likely be where we are weakest. To be more steadfast, we emphasize constant contact with our Higher Power. Do I still have secret thoughts that I am in complete control of myself?
MEDITATION FOR THE DAY
You need to be constantly recharged by the power of the spirit of God. Commune with God in these quiet moments until that Divine serenity flows into your own being and revives the weakened will. When you are weary, it is time to rest. When you hunger, it is time to eat. When your spirit wanes, it is time to seek God. Our worries, fears, concerns give way to a loving consciousness and abounding faith.
PRAYER FOR THE DAY
I pray that when I am weak I may always seek God's endless source of strength. I pray that in being thus revitalized I may meet the day's challenges.

This is what I've found makes all the difference for me, to the extent that I can give up my own way and let God have his way in me. I don't always do it, or sometimes I do it only partially. I find that when I finally do, work my Steps 1,2,3 and 11, and then patiently do what comes to me as really best, and be open to surprises, I see things working out in ways that I couldn't have thought of myself. In God's way and in His time. amazing
thanks,
love in recovery,
