Spirituality & Recovery

Wink I don't know about you guys, but I know that spirituality, my Higher Power whom I choose to call God is a big part of my recovery. So I felt it was only appropriate to have somewhere to discuss religion, spirituality and recovery. Right now I am totally dependant upon God, for I know I can't do this by myself, but God will do for me what I can't do for myself... Idea

Very Happy I recently received a 6 CD set called 12 Steps To Freedom. It is a series of sermons by Dr. Ed Young that ties the 12 Steps of AA together with scripture from the Bible. Interesting stuff. Wink

Third Step Prayer...

A friend shared this 3rd Step prayer with me, so now I pass it on to you... Wink


3rd Step Prayer

God, I offer myself to Thee, to build
with me and do with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of bonadage 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!

23rd Psalm For Recovering Alcoholics...

23rd Psalm for Recovering Alcoholics

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Lord is my sponsor, I shall not want.
He makes me to go to many meetings.
He leads me to sit back, relax, and listen with an open mind, He restores my soul, my sanity, and my health.
He leads me in the path of sobriety, serenity, and fellowship for my own sake.
He teaches me to think, to take it easy, to live and let live, and do first things first.
He makes me more humble and grateful.
He teaches me to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things I can, and gives me the wisdom to know the difference.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of despair, frustration, guilt, and remorse, I will fear no evil.
For Thou are with me, your program, your way of life, your twelve steps, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies: rationalization, fear, anxiety, self-pity, resentment.
You anoint my confused mind and jangled nerves with knowledge, understanding, and hope.
No longer am I alone, neither am I afraid, nor sickened, nor helpless, nor hopeless.
My cups runs over,
Surely sobriety and serenity shall follow me every day of my life, one day at a time, twenty-four hours at a time.
As I surrender my will to You and carry Your message to others, I will dwell in the house of Higher Power, as I understand him, one day at a time, forever and ever.
Amen
