We will carry out therefore the object of our Father, the Great
Spirit. Peau de
Chat Ojibway When we sincerely
took such a position, all sorts of remarkable things followed. We had a
new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we needed, if we kept
close to Him and performed His work well. Established on such a footing we
became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans and
designs. More and more we became interested in seeing what we could
contribute to life. As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of
mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we became
conscious of His presence, we began to lose fear of today, tomorrow or the
hereafter. We were reborn. Big Book

us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the
day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking
that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives.
Under these conditions we can employ our mental faculties with assurance,
for after all God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed
on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong
motives. Big Book
