GETTING WHAT'S BEST FOR US -

"We are thankful for this step, because we begin to get what is best for us. Sometimes we prayed for our wants and got trapped once we got them. We could pray and get something, then have to pray for its removal, because we couldn't handle it." (The Basic Text 6th ed., p. 48)



IT'S NOT ALWAYS WHAT WE THINK WE 'NEED' -

"This answer

has to do with the

quality of faith." "We

had not even pray-

ed rightly. We had al-

ways said, 'Grant me

my wishes' instead

of 'Thy will be

done.' " (12

& 12, p.

32)

"There are more 

tears shed over an-

swered prayers than 

over unanswered 

prayers."

- Saint Teresa of Avila (1515 - 1582) Roman Catholic Nun

Zonr Suggestions:

Find a quiet place while you put aside all pre-judgments and open yourself up to the Universal Truths above that unite spiritual traditions from around the world. You may want to replace alcohol & drugs with your own struggles with smoking, food, sex, money, rage, work, or even love, in order to make each SFZ a closer, personal fit.

*For you and your HP (Higher Power)

To receive your own SFZs each day.
