   November 29                                      Our Higher Power's care

          "We believe that our Higher Power will take care of us."

                                                            Basic Text, p. 55

   Our program is based on the idea that the application of simple principles
   can produce profound effects in our lives.  One such principle is that, if
   we ask, our Higher Power will care for us.  Because this principle is so
   basic, we may tend to ignore it.   Unless we learn to consciously apply
   this spiritual truth, we may miss out on something as essential to our
   recovery as breathing is to life itself.

   What happens when we find ourselves stressed or panicked?   If we have
   consistently sought to improve our relationship with our Higher Power,
   we'll have no problem.   Rather than acting rashly, we will stop for a
   moment and briefly remind ourselves of particular instances in the past
   when our Higher Power has shown its care for us.  This will assure us that
   our Higher Power is still in charge of our lives.  Then, we will seek
   guidance and power for the situation at hand and proceed calmly, confident
   that our lives are in God's hands.

   "Our program is a set of principles," our White Booklet tells us.  The
   more consistently we seek to improve our conscious appreciation of these
   principles, the more readily we will be able to apply them.

   Just for today:   I will seek to improve my conscious contact with the
   Higher Power that cares for me.  When the need arises, I know I will be
   able to trust in that care.
