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.
Third Step Prayer
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
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.
St. Francis
Prayer
Lord, make me
a channel of thy peace; where there
is hatred, I may bring love; where there
is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness; where there
is discord, I may bring harmony; where there
is error, I may bring truth; where there
is doubt, I may bring faith;where there
is despair, I may bring hope; where there
are shadows, I may bring light; 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.
