The simple fact is a man does not challenge the wisdom of the Holy
Mystery. Turtleheart Teton
Sioux This is the how
and why of it. First of all, we had to quit playing God. It didn't work.
Next, we decided that hereafter in this drama of life, God was going to be
our Director. He is the principal; we are His agents. He is the Father,
and we are His children. Most good ideas are simple, and this concept was
the keystone of the new and triumphant arch through which we passed to
freedom. Big Book pg.

us think about the twenty-four hours ahead. We consider our plans for the
day. Before we begin, we ask God to direct our thinking, especially asking
that it be divorced from self-pity, dishonest or self-seeking motives.
Under these conditions we can employ our mental faculties with assurance,
for after all God gave us brains to use. Our thought-life will be placed
on a much higher plane when our thinking is cleared of wrong
motives. Big Book pg.
