AA Thought for the Day - November 5, 2015

AA Thought for the Day
(courtesy AA-Alive.net)

November 5, 2015

Prayer
Pray.  Whether you believe it or not, pray to a higher power.
If we were able to stay sober on our own power, we wouldn't be here tonight.
It takes a power greater than ourselves, and prayer is how we contact that higher power.
You can use a religious one or one of your own choosing.
If the God word bothers you, pray to an anonymous higher power or even "to whom it may concern."
In the morning, ask this Higher Power to keep you sober that day and thank him at night for each sober day.

Thought to Ponder . . .
Trying to pray is praying.

AA-related 'Alconym' . . .
A S A P = Always Say A Prayer.

Thanks to all of you for sharing so generously of your experience, strength and hope in carrying the AA message.
Blessings in sobriety to all,
In love and service,
