A Wave

“They are still the launching pad for new life.”

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

1

We Agnostics

“We finally saw that faith in some kind of God was a part of our make-up, just as much as the feeling we have for a friend. Sometimes we had to search fearlessly, but He was there. He was as much a fact as we were. We found the Great Reality deep down within us. In the last analysis it is only there that He may be found. It was so with us.”

Appendix II Spiritual Experience

“With few exceptions our members find that they have tapped an unsuspected inner resource which they presently identify with their own conception of a Power greater than themselves. Most of us think this awareness of a Power greater than ourselves is the essence of spiritual experience. Our more religious members call it “God-consciousness.”

Twenty-Four Hours a Day

Meditation for the Day "Faith can move mountains." That expression means that faith can change any situation in the field of personal relationships. If you trust Him, God shows you the way. If you are humble enough to know that you can do little by yourself to change a situation; if you have enough faith to ask God to give you the power you need; and if you are grateful enough for the grace He gives you, you can "move mountains." Situations will be changed for the better by your presence. Prayer for the Day I pray that I may have enough faith to make me really effective. I pray that I may learn to depend less on myself and more on God.”
