Alcoholics Anonymous
In The Prayer Process we take time — a minute, two minutes or maybe ten minutes - to spend time with the Lord every day. Pick a specific time when you will pray; ex. Morning Prayer or Night Prayer. It is an intentional way that we grow in our faith. The seven steps of The Prayer Process are as follows:
1. Gratitude:
Begin by thanking God in a personal dialogue for whatever you are most grateful for today.
2. Awareness:
Revisit the times
of the past twenty-four hours when you were and were not the-best-version-of-yourself. Talk to
God about these situations
and what you learned from them.
3. Significant Moments:
Identify
something you experienced today and explore what God might be trying to say to you through
that event (or person).
4. Peace:
Ask God to forgive you
for any wrong you have committed (against yourself, another person, or Him) and to fill you
with a deep and abiding peace.
5. Freedom:
Speak with God about how he is inviting you to
change your life, so
that you can experience the freedom to be the best-version-of-yourself.
6. Others:
Lift up to God anyone you feel called to pray for
today, asking God to
bless and guide them.
7. Finish
by praying the Our Father.
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. Amen.
