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 pg. 63 On
awakening let 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 pg. 86 Great Spirit help us walk the path that you created for us.
