AA Thought for the Day

Prayer

We recoiled from meditation and prayer
as obstinately as the scientist
who refused to perform a certain experiment
lest it prove his pet theory wrong.
Of course we finally did experiment,
and often unexpected results followed, we felt different;
in fact, we knew different;
and so we were sold on meditation and prayer.
And that, we have found, can happen to anybody who tries.
It has been well said that
"almost the only scoffers at prayer are those
who never tried it enough."
