AA Thought for the Day

December 7, 2004

Fear of Nothingness

We have to find a life in the world of grace and spirit,
and this is certainly a new dimension for most of us. . .
Our conscious entry into it usually begins
as soon as we have deeply confessed
our personal powerlessness to go it alone. . .
The gift of faith and the consciousness of a higher power
is the outcome.
As faith grows, so does inner security.
The vast underlying fear of nothingness
commences to subside.
Therefore we of AA find that our basic antidote for fear
is a spiritual awakening.
