O.L.G.A. Thought for the Day
"The compulsive gamer is absolutely unable to stop gaming on the basis of self-knowledge. We must admit we can do nothing about it ourselves, or we would have! Will power and self-knowledge will never help in the strange mental blank spots when we are tempted to play the game, again. A compulsive gamer mentally is in a very sick condition. The last flicker of conviction that we can do the job ourselves must be snuffed out. The spiritual answer and the program of action are the only hope. Only spiritual principles will solve our problems. We are completely helpless apart from Divine help. Our defense against gaming must come from a Higher Power." Have I accepted the spiritual answer and the program of action?
Meditation for the Day
Rest now until life, eternal life, flowing through your veins and heart and mind, bids you to bestir yourself. Then glad work will follow. Tired work is never effective. The strength of your Higher Power's spirit is always available to the tired mind and body. He is your physician and your healer. Look to these quiet times of communion with your Higher Power for rest, for peace, for cure. Then rise refreshed in spirit and go out to work, knowing that your strength is able to meet any problems because it is reinforced by your Higher Power.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that the peace I have found will make me effective. I pray that I may be relieved of all strain during this day.
