O.L.G.A. Thought for the Day
After we had stopped our compulsive gaming, through the O.L.G.A. program, we gradually began to get a peace of mind and serenity, which we never thought were possible. This peace of mind is based on a feeling that fundamentally all is well. That does not mean that all is well on the surface of things. Little things can keep going wrong and big things can keep on upsetting us. But deep down in our hearts we know that everything is eventually going to be all right, now that we are living sober lives. Have I achieved a deep down, inner calm?
Meditation for the Day
You are climbing up the ladder of life, which reaches into eternity. Would your Higher Power plant your feet upon an insecure ladder? Its supports may be out of sight, hidden in secret places, but if your Higher Power has asked you to step on and up firmly, then surely He has secured your ladder. Faith gives you the strength to climb steadily this ladder of life. You should leave your security to your Higher Power and trust Him not to let you fall. He is there to give you all the power you need to keep on climbing.
Prayer for the Day
I pray that I may climb the ladder of life without fear. I pray that I may progress steadily through the rest of my life with faith and confidence.
