we ask our family or friends to join us in morning meditation.

Prayer on Awakening Direct our thinking, especially that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives. (AA p.86) Amen. |
|---|
| 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. (AA p.86) |
| Let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the day. In thinking about our day we may face indecision. (AA p.86) |
|
We may not be able to determine which course to take. We ask for inspiration, an intuitive thought or a decision. (AA p.86) Amen |
|
2-Way Prayer say a short prayer, either quietly or out loud. (Insert your own words.) Amen. After this, we'll go into our quiet time in the next screen. |

**************************************************
|
| We are often surprised how the right answers come after we have tried this for a while. What used to be the hunch or occasional inpiration gradually becomes a working part of the mind. Being still inexperienced and having just made conscious contact with God, it is not probable that we are going to be inspired at all times. We might pay for this presumption in all sorts of absurd actions and ideas. Nevertheless, we find that our thinking will, as time passes, be more and more on the plane of inspiration. We come to rely upon it. (AA p.87) |

Heavenly Father,
Please watch over all these people we have on our list.
We ask for healing and comfort for all in distress.
Nevertheless, Your Will be done in their lives.
Show us all through the day what our next step is to be. (AA p.87)
Show us the way of patience, tolerance, kindliness and love. (AA p.83)
We ask that we be given whatever we need to take care of our problems.
We ask especially for freedom from self-will. Let Your will be done.
If our requests help others, only then we ask for ourselves as well. (AA p.87)
As we go through the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful,
help us to ask You for the right thought or action. (AA p.87)
We ask that we be given strength and direction
to do the right thing, no matter what
the personal consequences might be. (AA p.79)
Thy will be done.
Amen

If we belong to a religious denomination
which requires a definite morning devotion,
we attend to that also.
If not members of religious bodies,
we sometimes select and memorize
a few set prayers which emphasize
the principles we have been discussing.
There are many helpful books also.
Suggestions about these may be obtained
from one's priest, minister, or rabbi.
Be quick to see where religious people are right.
Make use of what they offer. (AA p.87) We are then in much less danger of excitement, fear, anger, worry, self-pity, or foolish decisions. We become much more efficient. We do not tire so easily, for we are not burning up energy foolishly as we did when we were trying to arrange life to suit ourselves. We let God discipline us in the simple way we have just outlined. (AA p.88) |
