courage to change the things I can; 

and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time; 

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, 

not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right 

if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life 

and supremely happy

with Him Forever in the next.
Amen.

--Reinhold Niebuhr - 1926

The Lords Prayer

.

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses,

As we forgive those who

trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation,

But deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever.

Amen

 

Third Step Prayer

God, I offer myself to Thee - To build with me and 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!

11th Step Prayer

Lord, make me an instrument 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 despair, 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.

Seventh Step Prayer

My Creator, I am 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
