AA Thought for the Day

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. . .
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.

Thought to Ponder....

The power within me is far greater
than any fear before me.
