~SPIRITUAL NOT RELIGIOUS~ A DAY AT A TIME

07/28 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY

We learn the value of meditation in The Program.   As the beginning of the Eleventh Step suggests, we seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand Him.  One of the great values of meditation is that it clears the mind.  And as the mind becomes clearer, it becomes more capable and willing to acknowledge the truth.  Less pain is required to force honest recognition of defects and their results.  The real needs of the whole person are revealed.  ARE PRAYER AND MEDITATION A REGULAR PART OF MY DAILY LIVING?

TODAY I PRAY

May God's truths be revealed to me through meditation and these small prayers, through conact with my group which keeps me mindful of my need to clear my mind with daily meditation.  For only an uncluttered mind can receive God; only a mind cleansed of self-interest can acknowledge the truth.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

Meditation is a mind-cleanser.
