~~SPIRITUAL~~ A DAY AT A TIME

July 19
REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

Many of us come the The Program professing that we're agnostic or atheistic, As someone once put it, our will to disbelieve is so storn that we prefer a date with the undertaker to an experimental and open-minded search for a Higher Power.  Fortunately for those of us with closed minds, the constructive forces in The Program almost always overcome our obstinacy.  Before long, we discover the bountiful world of faith and trust.  It was there all along, but we lacked the willingness and open-mindedness to accept it.  DOES OBSTINACY STILL SOMETIMES BLIND ME TO THE POWER OF GOOD THAT RESIDES IN FAITH?

TODAY I PRAY
I want to thank God for this opportunity to open my mind; to learn again about faith and trust; to realize that my wanderings did not change His place within me or His loving concern for me.  May I know that it was my own doing that I lost faith.  Thank God for another chance to believe.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Discard the will to disbelieve.

~Amen~.. this one hits home with me some.  As a teen I was very involved in my church and the youth activities.  It was fun and I was spiritual.  When I graduated high school, I went to bible college.  I didn't last too long there.. only a semester.  I was more into partying with the people there and socalizing than studing.  I came home and continued the partying.. and decided I didn't need to be friends with my Higher Power (God) as I was having too much fun partying and drinking.  Who wants to hang out with someone when you know they wouldn't agree with what we are doing?  So that continued for many years...  until I went to AA to be with a friend and found that my Best Friend (God) was there to be with ME  We've been pretty good friends since then.
