Dear God,
Thank you very much for this day of life and all the good things you have done for me. Thank you for giving me willingness and for keeping me clean and sober. As this day comes to a close I ask that you help me to see my failings and to see Your blessings.
Was I resentful?
Was I afraid?
Was I selfish?
Was I dishonest?
Do I owe an apology?
Was I kind and loving toward all?
Was I thinking of myself most of the time?
What could I have done better?
Have I kept something to myself which should be discussed with another person at once?
Was I thinking of what I could do for others, of what I could pack into the stream of life?
Did I carry the message of Your power and grace today?
Did I appreciate when You helped me today?
Did I allow You to open my eyes to the truth today?
Did I trust in You - infinite God, to relieve my fears?
Did I accept life on Your terms?

As soon as I woke up this morning I had to turn over my fears and resentment of my job circumstances over to God.
I got to go to the noon meeting, we read from the personal story, "Student of Life".
I was able to get a lot done at work today.
At lunch and on the way home I thought about trusting in God much more intensely. I thought about really letting go of my past and present problems and living life as if I were the luckiest man alive. I thought about truly seizing the faith. Carpe Fides, seize the faith!
When I got hope I was cheerful and engaging with the kids. How lucky I am that God brings me so much joy. I don't have to be stressed out and mean to my kids.
I don't have to live in fear today.
