AA Thought for the Day

Uncertainty

We of AA now find ourselves living in a world
characterized by destructive fears as never before in history.
But in it we nevertheless see great areas of faith
and tremendous aspirations toward justice
and brotherhood.
Yet no prophet can presume to say
whether the world outcome will be blazing destruction
or the beginning, under God's intention, of the brightest era
yet known to mankind.
I am sure we AAs well comprehend this scene.
In microcosm, we have experienced this identical state
of terrifying uncertainty, each in his own life.
In no sense pridefully, we AAs can say that we do not fear
the world outcome, whichever course it may take.
This is because we have been enabled
to deeply feel and say,
"We shall fear no evil -- Thy will, not ours, be done."

- Bill W., January 1962.
