Patience

Here's December 11th's Reflection for the Day from A Day At A Time.

Reflection for the Day
Before I came to the Program -- in fact, before I knew of the Program's existence -- I drifted from crisis to crisis. Occasionally, I tried to use my will to chart a new course; however, like a rudderless ship, I inevitably foundered once again on the rocks of my own despair. Today, in contrast, I receive guidance from my Higher Power. Sometimes, the only answer is a sense of peace or an assurance that all will be well.

Today I Pray
May I not expect instant communication with my Higher Power. May I have patience, and listen, and sense that my Higher Power is present. May I accept my new feeling of radiant warmth and serenity as my Higher Power's way of assuring me that I am, finally, making some good choices.

Today I Will Remember
Patience. My prayers will be answered.

Thank you AA.
