“Before recovery, there was nothing greater than my own ability to plan, manage and carry-on.”

Three readings. A song that says the rest. And inspiration for whatever this day is here to teach.

Read — the readings that opened the day

God Calling

A.J. Russell

You must not depend on man but on Me—your Strength, your Help, your Supply. This is the great ask: “Am I your supply or not?” Every great work for Me has had to have this great test-time.

A Deep Breath of Life

Alan Cohen

The universe works on a win-win basis. There is always a way for everyone to be taken care of. Do not stop until you have blessed everyone, including yourself. Today, help me find compassion to honor my own heart, along with others; to accept the kindness and forgiveness You offer that I may show others.

Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Hazelden Foundation

The lifeline, the line of rescue, is the line from the soul to God. On one end of the lifeline is our faith and on the other end is God's power. It can be a strong line, and no soul can be overwhelmed who is linked to God by it. I will trust in this lifeline and never be afraid. God will save me from doing wrong and from the cares and troubles of life. I will look to God for help and trust Him for aid when I am emotionally upset. I pray that no lack of trust or fearfulness will make me disloyal to God. I pray that I may keep a strong hold on the lifeline of faith.
