REFLECTION FOR TODAY
I have heard that the eagle is the only bird who will fly into a storm. I like relating to the eagle because I know the quicker I face my pain, the faster I pass through the stormy time. On the other side of the storm I always find a beautiful rainbow. In this rainbow the colors show me the strength and courage which I had not known I possessed. This strength and courage gives me hope to face whatever lies ahead.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Grant me the spirit of the eagle so I can continue to soar and become the person You created me to be.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Each time I face my pain I receive the gift of strength and courage.

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
I have come to realize that one of the ways in which I try to cope is to avoid all conflict and pain. What if today I found the courage to turn and face my difficulty? If I honestly and fearlessly looked at the person or the problem with a clear-eyed gaze, what might I see? I can believe that the person I fear could be a friend in need and that my problem looked at in perspective, will melt away or diminish in size.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Please give me the courage to stop running away from life's problems. Help me today to deal with at least one of my problems openly and honestly.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I will win by turning and facing my foe.

October 10

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
I often ask my Higher Power to help me know what is best for me. And often I hear my Higher Power answer and know in my heart it is best, and yet I do nothing. Then I punish myself because I have asked and have received, yet have taken no action. In fact, the knowledge of what is best for me often causes me great anxiety, and my fear overwhelms what I know. I have been given knowledge but not asked for courage as well. Knowledge is a wonderful gift, but I accomplish little if I do not have the courage to act.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Higher Power, grant me courage as well as knowledge.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
I need all my Higher Power's gifts.
