Reflection of the day
I have this little blue book that I got when I first joined Gambler’s Anonymous. It’s called A Day At A Time and it has a reading for each day of the year.
Today’s reading (and yes, I’m retyping it)
July 28 Reflection for the day:
We learn the value of meditation in the GA Program. As the beginning of the Eleventh Step suggests, we sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him. One of the great values of meditation is that it clears the mind. And as the mind becomes clearer, it becomes more capable and willing to acknowledge the truth. Less pain is required to force honest recognition of defects and their results. The real needs of the whole person are revealed.
Are prayer and meditation a regular part of my daily living?
Today I Pray
May God’s truths be revealed to me through meditation and these small prayers, through contact with my group, which keeps me mindful of my need to clear my mind with daily meditation. For only an uncluttered mind can receive God, and only a mind cleansed of self-interest can acknowledge the truth.
Today I Will Remember
Meditation is a mind cleanser.
