AA Thought for the Day

October 14, 2007

Prayer

I felt completely defeated. Then I remembered the words of my sponsor:
"When all else has failed, grab a rope and hang on.
Ask God for strength to stay sober for one day."
I went into that filthy bathroom and got down on my knees.
"God, teach me to pray," I begged. I remained there a long time,
and when I arose and left the room, I knew I never had to drink again.
I came to believe, that day, that God would help me maintain my sobriety.
. . . He had been within me at all times, just as He is in all people,
and I uncovered Him by clearing away the wreckage of my past.
