Thought for the Day

In A.A. we do not speak much of sex.
And yet putting sex in its proper place in our lives is one of the rewards that have come to us as a result of our new way of living.
The Big Book says that many of us needed an overhauling there.
It also says that we subjected each sex relation to this test - was it selfish or not?
"We remembered always that our sex powers were God-given and therefore good, neither to be used lightly or selfishly, nor to be despised or loathed."
We can ask God to mold our ideals and to help us to live up to them.
We can act accordingly.
Have I got my sex life under proper control?

Meditation for the Day

"I will lift up my eyes unto the heights whence cometh my help."
Try to raise your thoughts from the depths of the sordid and mean and impure things of the earth to the heights of goodness and decency and beauty.
Train your insight by trying to take the higher view.
Train it more and more until distant heights become more familiar.
The heights of the Lord, whence cometh your help, will become nearer and dearer and the false values of the earth will seem farther away.

Prayer for the Day

I pray that I may not keep my eyes forever downcast.
I pray that I may set my sights on higher things.
