AA Thought for the Day

December 27, 2003

Power

I looked up an AA meeting and went there -- alone.
Here I found an ingredient that had been lacking
in any other effort I had made to save myself.
Here was -- power!
Here was power to live to the end of any given day,
power to have the courage to face the next day,
power to have friends, power to help people,
power to be sane, power to stay sober. . .
What is this power?
With my AA friends, all I can say is that
it's a Power greater than myself.
If pressed, all I can do is follow the psalmist
who said it long before me:
"Be still, and know that I am God."

Thought to Ponder....

The task ahead of us
is never as great as the Power behind us.
