AA Thought for the Day

January 19, 2005

Motives

On awakening let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead.
We consider plans for the day.
Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking,
especially asking that it be divorced from self-pity,
dishonest or self-seeking motives.
Under these conditions
we can employ our mental faculties with assurance,
for after all God gave us brains to use.
Our thought-life will be placed on a much higher plane
when our thinking is cleared of wrong motives.

Thought to Ponder....

What have I been given today?
Am I willing to reach out and grasp it?
