AA Thought for the Day

October 19, 2003

Prayer

Immediately a great feeling of peace
descended upon me,
intermingled with a feeling
of being suffused with a quiet strength.
I lay down on the bed and slept like a child.
An hour later I awoke to a new world.
Nothing had changed and yet everything had changed.
The scales had dropped from my eyes,
and I could see life in its proper perspective.
I had tried to be the center of my own little world,
whereas God was the center of a vast universe
of which I was perhaps essential,
but a very tiny, part.

Thought to Ponder....

Prayer is neither black magic
nor is it a form of demand note.
Prayer is a relationship.
