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 when unexpected results followed, we felt different;
in fact we knew different;
and so we were sold on meditation and prayer. . .
It has been well said that
"almost the only scoffers at prayer
are those who never tried it enough."

Thought to Ponder....
