“Today, I met friends at the early morning meeting. We read from page 86, that starts with ‘On Awakening’ as we enter our time of prayer and meditation. Everyone shared their insights and experience using prayer and meditation, trying to function, to be of service, without having expectations.”

Pain is the signal that we must make a change. We cannot afford to lose our ability to hear that signal. To avoid drift, begin to tell the truth about your experience; discover valuable messages as you let yourself feel your feelings. Many people have told me they had a bad intuition about something, but they overrode their gut feelings and regretted it later. Your body will speak to you. As the Spirit awakens, it is up to each one of us to act on the voice of love and wisdom within. It is our best friend. Today, show me the way to my good; to hear Your guidance and act on it.

Thought for the Day “By recovering faith in a Divine Principle in the universe, One which holds us and the whole universe together, we achieve meaning and purpose. We surrender our disorganized lives to that Power. As we continue to get into harmony with the Divine Spirit, our lives are made whole again. Is my life whole again? Meditation for the Day Avoid fear as you would a plague. Fear, even the smallest fear, is a hacking at the cords of faith that bind you to God. However small the fraying, in time those cords will wear thin, and then one disappointment or shock will make them snap. But for the little fears, the cords of faith would have held firm. Avoid depression, which is allied to fear. Remember that all fear is disloyalty to God. It is a denial of His care and protection. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may have such trust in God today that I will not fear anything too greatly. I pray that I may have assurance that God will take care of me in the long run.”
