    APRIL 9 Reflection for the Day
    Faith is more than our greatest gift; sharing it with others is our greatest responsibility. May we in the Gamblers Anonymous Program continually seek the wisdom and the willingness by which we may well fulfill the immense trust which the Giver of all perfect gifts has placed in our hands.

    If you pray, why worry? If you worry, why pray?

    Today I Pray
    Our God is a mighty fortress, a bulwark who never fails us. May we give praise for our deliverance and for our protection. God gives us the gift of faith to share. May we pass it along to others as best we know how and in the loving spirit in which it was given to us.

    Today I Will Remember
    God will not fail us.

    APRIL 10 Reflection for the Day
    Change is the characteristic of all growth, from reckless action to thoughtfulness, from dishonesty to honesty, from conflict to serenity, from childish dependence to adult responsibility – all this and infinitely more represent change for the better. Only God is unchanging; only God has all the truth there is.

    Do I accept the belief that lack of power was my dilemma? Have I found a power by which I can live – a Power greater than myself?

    Today I Pray
    I pray that the Gamblers Anonymous Program will be, for me, an outline for change – for changing me. These days of transition from compulsive gambling to abstinence, from powerlessness to power through God, may be rocky, as change can be. May my restlessness be stilled by the unchanging nature of God, in whom I place my trust. Only God is whole and perfect and predictable.

    Today I Will Remember
    I can count on my Higher Power.

    APRIL 11 Reflection for the Day
    I came; I came to; I came to believe. Gamblers Anonymous has enabled me to learn that deep down in every man, woman, and child is the fundamental idea of a God. It may be obscured by pomp, by calamity, by worship of other things, but in some form or another it is there. For faith in a Power greater than ourselves and miraculous demonstrations of that Power in human lives are facts as old as man himself.

    How well do I share my free gifts?

    Today I Pray
    I pray that I may continue to look for – and find – the Godliness that is in me and in every other person, no matter how it is obscured. May I be aware that the consciousness of a Higher Power has been present in man since he was first given the power to reason, no matter what name he gave to it or how he sought to reach it. May my own faith in a Higher Power be reinforced by the experience of all mankind – and by the working of God’s gracious miracles in my own life.

    Today I Will Remember
    God is in us all.
