THE SERENITY PRAYER
God Saying the word I am admitting the existence of a Consciousness or a Higher Power that is greater than I.
Grant Saying this second word, I am admitting that this Consciousness or HigherPower is able to bestow and give to me and others.
Me I am asking something for myself. Holy books say that if I ask sincerely, it shall be given. It is not wrong to ask for improving myself For when I improve my character, both I and people around me will be happier, and my relationships will have a better chance to improve.
The Serenity I am asking for calmness, composure, and inner peace in my life which will enable me to transact my ego, to think straight, and to govern myself properly.
To accept I am resigning myself to conditions as they are right now. I am living in the now, the present moment.
the things I acknowledge my tragedy, death, suffering, illness, and pain as a part of my life, neither good nor bad. I accept my humanness and fallibility. I am accepting my lot in life as it is. Until I have the courage to change any part of my life I don't like, I must accept it, without doing so grudgingly.
I can not change I can't prevent these events or conditions from happening to me or to others.
courage A quality which enables me to deal with the problems and realities of life without reliance on alcohol or drugs. A determination to stand my ground and slug it out with all issues, pleasant or otherwise. A strength of my spirit to face and handle the negative. Fearlessness in practicing faith, humility and honesty.
to change In facing these negatives directly and honestly, I am asking for myself and my life conditions to be different for me. I am taking an active part in this changing.
the things I can I am asking for help to make the right decisions. Everything is not the way I would like it to be in my life. I must continue to face reality and constantly work toward my continued growth and progress.
and wisdom I am asking for the ability to rise above my ego and form sound judgments about myself and my life. I then use my ability to ask for guidance from myself others and a Higher Power.
to know the difference I want to be able to understand clearly truths of fact. I want to see things differently in my life so that I will be more aware of myself and of others. I need to sense my will and that of my Higher Power. I must accept my limitations.
thy will mot mine be done I am asking that of this Consciousness or Higher Powers will. To be of theirs and not that of my own to be granted as they see fit. Auther Unknown Page Designed by LT 25
