Thoughts for the week:

May 23 A Time To Fast

Now the most profitable method of fasting is abstention from negative or error thoughts. In some cases it is necessary to abstain for a time from thinking about a particular problem at all. In such a case it is best to give the problem a definite and final prayer, and then to leave it alone, for a time; or else hand it over to somebody else to handle for you, after which you keep your thoughts completely away from it.

There is no limit to what you can accomplish in helping others. Keep that thought always. Never relinquish any work or give up the thought of any accomplishment because it seems beyond your power. God will help you in all good work. Only give it up if you feel that it's not God's will for you. Inhelping others, think of the tiny seed under the dark, hard ground. There is no certainty that, when it has forced its way up to the surface, sunlight and warmth will greet it. Often a task  seems beyond your power, but there is no limit to what you can accomplish with God's help.

May 28  Now Is Your Time

Always remember that the only thought that you need to concern yourself with is the present time. The thoughts of yesterday or of last year do not matter now, because if you can get the present thought right it will make everything else right here and now. The best way to prepare for tomorrow is to make today's consciousness serene and harmonious.

Never go delving in your mind to look for troubles to pray about. Deal faithfully with those that bring them selves to your attention, and hidden things will be taken care of.

May 29

I will try to help others. I will try not to let a day pass without reaching out an arm of love to someone. Each day I will try to do something to lift another human being out of the sea of discouragements into which he or she has fallen. My helping hand is needed to raise the helpless to courage, to strength, to faith, to health in my own gratitude, I will turn and help other alcoholics with the burden that is pressing too heavily upon them.
