AA Thought for the Day

An Astounding Conclusion

My intelligence,
instead of drawing me further away from spiritual faith
is bringing me closer to it.
I no longer react in quite the same way
when my will and desires are apparently frustrated.
The simple words "Thy Will Be Done"
and the simple ideas of honesty
and of helping others are taking on a new meaning for me.
I should not be surprised to find myself
coming to the astounding conclusion that God,
whoever or whatever He may be,
is eminently more capable of running this universe
than I am.
At last I believe I am on my way.
