Love & Prayers To All Jozie
I admit I am Powerless over my addictions. I admit that my life is unmanageable when I try to control it. Help me this day to understand the true meaning of powerlessness. Remove from me all denial of my addiction. AMEN
Dear Lord, I pray for an open mind so I may come to believe in a power greater then myself. I pray for humility & the continued opportunity to increase my faith. I dont want to be Crazy Anymore.
God, I offer myself to thee. To build with me & 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 The Power, Thy Love & Thy Way of life, May I do Thy Will Always!
Dear God, it is I who have made my life a mess. I have done it, But I Cannot undo it. My mistakes are mine, & I will begin a searching & fearless moral inventory. I will write down my wrongs, but I will also include that which is good. I pray for the strength to complete the task.
Higher Power, My Inventory has shown me who I am, yet I ask for Your Help in admitting my wrongs to another person & to You. Assure me & be with me, in this Step, for without this Step I cannot progress in my recovery. With your help, I can do this, & I do it.
Dear God, I am ready for Your Help in removing from me the defects of character which I now realize are an obstacle to my recovery. Help me to continue being honest with myself & guide me toward spiritual & mental health.
My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good & bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you & my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here to do your bidding.
Higher Power, I ask Your Help in making my list of all those I have harmed. I will take responsibility for my mistakes, & be forgiving to others as You are forgiving to me. Grant me the willingness to begin my restitution. This I Pray.
Higher Power, I pray for the right attitude to make my amends, being ever mindful not to harm others in the process. I ask Your Guidance in making indirect amends. Most important, I will continue to make amends by helping others, and growing in spiritual progress.
I pray I may Continue: To grow in understanding & effectiveness: To take daily spot check inventories of myself. To correct mistakes when I make them; To take responsibility for my actions; To be ever aware of my negative & self-defeating attitudes & behaviors; To keep my willfulness in check; To always remember I need Your Help; To keep love & tolerance of others as my code; & to continue in daily prayer how I can best serve You, My Higher Power.
Higher Power, As I Understand You, I pray to keep my connection with You open & clear from the confusion of daily life. Through my prayers & meditation I ask especially for freedom from self will, rationalization, & wishful thinking. I pray for the guidance of correct thought & positive action. Your will, Higher Power, not Mine, Be Done.
Dear God, My Spiritual Awakening continues to unfold. The Help I have received I shall pass on & give to others, both in & out of the Fellowship. For this opportunity I am grateful. I pray most humbly to continue walking day by day on the road of spiritual progress. I pray for the inner strength & wisdom to practice the principles of this way of life in all I do & say. I Need You, my friends, & the Program every hour of every day. This is a Better Way to Live.
To All
