AA Thought for the Day

August 8, 2006

Resentments

If you have a resentment you want to be free of,
if you will pray for that person or the thing you resent,
you will be free.
If you will ask in prayer
for everything you want for yourself to be given to them,
you will be free.
Ask for their health, their prosperity, their happiness,
and you will be free.
Even when you don't really want it for them
and your prayers are only words and you don't mean it,
go ahead and do it anyway.
