“From rushing around trying to manage everything, my life has slowly changed to being of service, focusing on just what’s put in front of me.”

“Devote the beginning of your day to self-renewal. Feed your soul; pray or meditate, practice tai chi or yoga, walk in nature, play music, dance, read uplifting words, or share meaningful talks with friends. Feed your soul. The time you invest will pay for itself a thousand-fold. Again, before you close your eyes to go to sleep, be with God. Feed your soul; it’s your most important meal of the day. Nourished by Your spirit, my heart is whole; You make all the difference in my life and my world.”

“I lacked serenity. With more to do than seemed possible, I fell further behind, no matter how hard I tried. Worries about things not done yesterday, fear of tomorrow’s deadlines denied me the calm I needed to be effective each day. Before taking Steps 10 & 11, I tried to focus on God’s will, not my problems and to trust that He would manage my day. It worked! Slowly, but it worked!”

Meditation For The Day “Lay upon God your failures, mistakes and shortcomings. Do not dwell upon your failures, upon the fact that in the past you have been nearer a beast than an angel. You have a mediator between you and God – your growing faith –which can lift you up from the mire and point you toward the heavens. You can still be reconciled with the spirit of God. You can still regain your harmony with the Divine Principle of the universe. Prayer For The Day I pray that I may not let the beast in me hold me back from my spiritual destiny. I pray that I may rise and walk upright.”
