~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME
05/02 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
When I was drinking, I was certain that my intelligence, backed by will power, could properly control my inner life and guarantee me success in the world around me. This brave and grandiose philosophy, by which I played God, sounded good in the saying, but it still had to meet the acid test: How well did it actually work? One good look in the mirror was answer enough. HAVE I BEGUN TO ASK GOD EACH DAY FOR STRENGTH?
TODAY I PRAY
May I stop counting on my old standbys, my "superior intelligence" and my "will-power," to control my life. I used to think, with those two fabulous attributes, that I was all-powerful. May I not forget, as my self-image is restored, that only through surrender to a Higher Power will I be given the power that can make me whole.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
