TOPICS – September 17
1) Daily Reflections:
FREEDOM FROM FEAR
When, with God’s help, we calmly accepted our lot, then we found we could live at peace with ourselves and show others who still suffered the same fears that they could get over them, too. We found that
freedom from fear was more important than freedom from want.
TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 122
2) Prayer For The Day:
I pray that I may try to live the right way. I pray that I may follow the path that leads to a better life.
3) Daily Inspiration:
When something threatens your peace, do not give it an importance it doesn’t have by allowing it to fester in your mind. There is no situation beyond your ability to correct.
Use the power of positive images in your mind to bring about good experiences. I will let my faith in God nourish my thoughts so that I can develop a healthy and joyful reality.
4) SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE:
Yet it is true that our first printing gave many readers the impression that these personality changes, or religious experiences, must be in the nature of sudden and spectacular upheavals. Happily for everyone, this conclusion is erroneous.
