DAILY REFLECTION – ROUND-THE-CLOCK FAITH
19 January 2024
ROUND-THE-CLOCK-FAITH
Faith has to work twenty-four hours a day in and through us, or we perish.
ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS, p. 16
The essence of my spirituality, and my sobriety, rests on a round-the-clock faith in a Higher Power. I need to remember and rely on the God of my understanding as I pursue all of my daily activities. How comforting for me is the concept that God works in and through people. As I pause in my day, do I recall specific concrete examples of God’s presence? Am I amazed and uplifted by the number of times this power is evident? I am overwhelmed with gratitude for my God’s presence in my life of recovery. Without this omnipotent force in my every activity, I would
again fall into the depths of my disease—and death.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
“We are more than one hundred men and women who have recovered from a seemingly hopeless state of mind and body.” (Page 29)
