AA Thought for the Day
October 5, 2005
Trapped in Thoughts
Peace is possible for me only
when I let go of expectations.
When I'm trapped in thoughts about what I want
and what should be coming to me,
I'm in a state of fear or anxious anticipation
and this is not conductive to emotional sobriety.
I must surrender -- over and over -- to the reality
of my dependence on God,
for then I find peace, gratitude and spiritual security.
Thought to Ponder....
It's not easy to fight an enemy
who has outposts in your head.
