    DECEMBER 26 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "I will never outgrow my need for God"
    Dec 26 2025
    None of us can really claim to understand our Higher Power to any extent. But this I do know: there is a power beyond my human will that can do wonderful, loving things for me that I can't do for myself. I see this glorious power at work in my own being, and I see the miraculous results of this same power in the lives of thousands of other recovering compulsive gamblers who are my friends in the Gamblers Anonymous Program.Do I need the grace of God and the loving understanding any less now than when I began my recovery?Today I Pray … May I never forget that my spiritual needs are as great today as they were when I came into Gamblers Anonymous. It is so easy to look at others, newer to the recovery process, and regard them as the needy ones. As I think of myself as increasingly independent, may I never overlook my dependence on my Higher Power.Today I Will Remember … I will never outgrow my need for God.A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiHG.A.

  • DECEMBER 25 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Giving and receiving are equal blessings"

    DECEMBER 25 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Giving and receiving are equal blessings"
    Dec 25 2025
    Today is a special day in more ways than one. It's a day that God has made, and I'm alive in God's world. I know that all things in my life this day are an expression of God's love - the fact that I'm alive, that I'm recovering, and that I'm able to feel the way I feel at this very instant. For me, this will be a day of gratitude.Am I deeply grateful for the dawn of this special day, and for all my blessings?Today I Pray … On this day of remembering God's gift, may I understand that giving and receiving are the same. Each is part of each. If I give, I receive the happiness of giving. If I receive, I give someone else that same happiness of giving. I pray that I may give myself my love and my strengths - generously. May I also receive graciously the love and strengths of others' selves. May God be our example.Today I Will Remember … Giving and receiving are equal blessings.A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiHG.A. A New Beginning https://amzn.to/3E9YgPC

  • DECEMBER 24 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Peace is the greatest blessing"

    DECEMBER 24 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY "Peace is the greatest blessing"
    Dec 24 2025
    We came to Gamblers Anonymous as supplicants, literally at the ends of our ropes. Sooner or later, by practicing GA's Twelve Steps of Recovery, we discover within ourselves a very precious thing. We uncover a serenity through which we can be comfortable in all places and situations. We gain strength and grow - with the help of God as we understand Him, with the Fellowship of the Gamblers Anonymous Program, and by applying the Twelve Steps of Recovery to our lives.Can anyone take my new life from me?Today I Pray … May my prayers of desperate supplication, which I brought as a newcomer to the Gamblers Anonymous Program, change to peaceful surrender. Now that I have seen what can be done through the Program and the endless might of a Higher Power, may my gift to others be that strong conviction. I pray that those I love will have the faith to find their own spiritual experiences and the blessings of peace.Today I Will Remember … Peace - inner and outer - is the greatest blessing.A Day at a Time https://amzn.to/3EOjuiHG.A.
