Daily Reflections

"THE QUALITY OF FAITH"

This. . . has to do with the quality of faith. . . . In no deep or
meaningful sense had we ever
taken stock of ourselves. . . . We had not even prayed rightly. We had
always said,
"Grant me my wishes" instead of "Thy will be done."
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p.32

God does not grant me material possessions, take away my suffering, or
spare me
from disasters, but He does give me a good life, the ability to cope,
and peace of
mind. My prayers are simple: first, they express my gratitude for the
good things in
my life, regardless of how hard I have to search for them; and second, I
ask only for
the strength and the wisdom to do His will. He answers with solutions to
my
problems, sustaining my ability to live through daily frustrations with
a serenity I did
not believe existed, and with the strength to practice the principles of
A.A. in all of
my everyday affairs

Is AA a religion?

"Man who shoot off mouth, must expect to lose face."
- Confucious

imo, AA has helped me to develop a better relationship with my HP.
i was raised a catholic, and AA is NOTHING like that religion, with all
its rules etc.
