AA Thought for the Day

October 29, 2002

The Camel

Dr. Bob [co-founder of AA] would explain prayer
by telling how the camels in a caravan
would kneel down in the evening,
and the men would unload their burdens.
In the morning, they would kneel down again,
and the men would put the burdens back on.
"It's the same with prayer," Dr. Bob said.
"We get on our knees to unload at night.
And in the morning when we get on our knees again,
God gives us just the load
we are able to carry for that day."
