Serenity Prayer
"God,
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And wisdom to know the difference"
Service prayer (need actual title)
I am responsible..
When anyone, anywhere,
reaches out for help, I want
the hand of A.A. always to be there.
And for that: I am responsible.
Oh Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen to me today
that you and I together can't handle..
Third Step Prayer - Page 63 of the Big Book
"God, I offer myself to Thee - to build with me and to do with me
as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do
Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness
to those I would help of Thy Power. Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May
I do Thy will always!"
Seventh Step Prayer - Page 76 of the Big Book
"My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good
and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character
which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant
me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen."
Eleventh Step Prayer - Page 99 of the 12x12
"Lord, make me a channel of thy peace—that where there is hatred, I may bring
love—that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of
forgiveness—that where there is discord, I may bring harmony—that
where there is error, I may bring truth—that where there is
doubt, I may bring faith—that where there is dispair, I may bring
hope—that where there are shadows, I may bring light—that where there is sadness, I may bring joy. Lord,
grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted—to understand,
than to be understood—to love, than to be loved. For it is by self-forgetting
that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven. It
is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen."
