When we wake up, let us think about the twenty-four hours ahead of us. We think about our plans for the day. Before we begin, we ask God to guide our thoughts, especially to keep away from self-pity, dishonest motives, and seeking self-interest. Under these conditions, we can safely exercise our mental faculties, for after all, God gave us a mind to use. Our thought life will be placed on a much higher plane where our thinking will be free from wrong motives. When we think about our day, we may feel that we are having a hard time deciding. We may not be able to determine which course to take. Here we ask God for inspiration, an intuitive thought, or a decision. We relax and take it easy. We do not struggle. Often we are amazed at how the right answers come after we have tried for a while. What was a gut feeling or a chance inspiration gradually becomes an active part of the brain. Since we are still inexperienced and have only just made conscious contact with God, it is unlikely that we will be inspired all the time. We may pay for this unfounded assumption with all sorts of absurd actions and ideas. Yet we find that as time goes on, our thinking will be more and more on the plane of inspiration. We begin to trust it.
We usually end the meditation session with a prayer that will show us throughout the day what the next step is and that we will be given everything we need to deal with such problems. We ask primarily to be free from self-will and are careful not to ask for requests that are only for ourselves. We are allowed to ask for something for ourselves, if it will help others as well. Many of us have wasted a lot of time on this and it doesn't work. It's easy to see why not.
If circumstances allow, we ask our people or friends to join us in our morning meditation and prayer. If we belong to a religious order that has a morning prayer, we use it and participate in it. If we do not belong to a religious body, we sometimes choose to memorize prayers that emphasize the principles we have discussed. There are also many books that help us. We can get ideas on the subject from the priest or rabbi. We must hurry and find where the clergy are right and use what they have to offer.

During the day when we are agitated or full of doubts we pause and ask for the right thought or the right course of action. We constantly remind ourselves that we are no longer running the show and humbly say to ourselves many times during the day, “Thy will be done.”
"Will do"! Then there is less danger of finding ourselves in states of excitement, fear, anger, worry, self-pity or making stupid decisions. We become much more efficient. We don't tire easily because we don't burn energy foolishly as we did when we tried to organize life to suit us. It works, it really works.

We alcoholics are not disciplined, so we let God educate us in discipline in the simple way that we have presented to you.

But that is not all, one must act and act further. "Faith without action is dead." (The Big Book, pp. 66-68)
