REFLECTION FOR TODAY
After working Steps One, Two and Three, it is tempting to sit back and say, "Okay, I'll let go; You take over." This does not work. It is like having a well and saying, "Why am I thirsty?" A well has clear, cool, refreshing water, but the water must be pumped or drawn out. We must use our faith to do what we know is right. We must seek counsel, meditate, and work on the steps. In any case, this program does not call for giving up; it calls for surrender. We are endowed with unique qualities which can be used to make our life and the lives of others better. Part of faith is seeking these qualities and using them when we find them. The love and acceptance of the program is the oil and fuel for the pump which will draw this faith and these qualities up into the light for us.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
I pray I may use my faith in order that I may grow.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Faith is like a deep well - it has great potential but is worthless if not used.

October 29

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
I awaken this day with the faith that there will be enough time to accomplish all that is necessary. As I think of the tasks ahead, I do not concentrate on how many there are or how long they might take. I know my Higher Power is with me in all my undertakings. I can start each job calmly, believing God will aid me in my work and the tasks will be accomplished in the right manner and at the right time. My hands and mind will be guided all day. When the work is done for the day, there will be time for play.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
Thank You for Your guidance throughout this day in the completion of my appointed tasks.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Anything is possible with God's help.

April 13

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
I came into EA afraid - afraid of the past, present, and future; afraid of people, even those people who love me and whom I love. And afraid of being hurt again. EA has taught me that the opposite of fear is faith. As I learn to trust people, I trust my Higher Power, and my fears lessen. Trust in people, trust in my Higher Power, and trust in myself go hand-in-hand.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I remember that as I trust others, my Higher Power, and myself, my faith grows.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Faith challenges fear.

August 25

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
Learning to overcome fear with faith is a lot like learning to swim. Reading about swimming is of little help; neither is watching other swimmers. Sooner or later we must trust the water to hold us up. To do this we must risk jumping into the water. So it is with faith - it will buoy us up. But first we must enter an unfamiliar medium; then we must practice.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I trust the principles and fellowship of EA to sustain me as I practice to overcome the fear in my life. Ours is the way of faith, not fear.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
In our fellowship I am afloat on a sea of love.

July 13

REFLECTION FOR TODAY
I had fears of what God would ask me to be and do, fears of a life I did not want to lead. Slowly my faith has developed to where I am wiling and able to turn my life over to God. Piece by piece I have ventured to give up control over my will and life and let God have control. Many times I take control back. At no time has it worked out better for me to have been in control rather than God. Every time God has been in control, it has worked out for the best. My spiritual progress has been gradual. As my trust in God has grown, the areas I surrender to my Higher Power have increased.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY
May I commit myself to letting You handle my life today.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
In God's control, I am in the best care possible.
