AA Thought for the Day

September 21, 2003

Tension

Whenever I find myself under acute tensions,
I lengthen my daily walks
and slowly repeat the Serenity Prayer in rhythm
to my steps and breathing.
If I feel that my pain has in part
been occasioned by others, I try to repeat,
"God grant me the serenity to love their best,
and never fear their worst."
This has seldom failed to restore me
to at least a workable emotional balance
and perspective.

Thought to Ponder....

When I turn my will and my life
over to the care of God in the morning,
the rest of my day is none of my business.
