Serenity Prayer
GOD, GRANT ME THE SERENITY
TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE,
THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS I CAN,
AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time,
Accepting hardship as a path to peace,
taking as he did this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it,
that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with him in the next.
-- Rienhold Niebuhr

Third Step Prayer
God, I offer myself to You to build with me
and do with me as You will.
Relieve me of the bondage of self,
that I may better do Your will.
Take away my difficulties, that victory over them
may bear witness to those I would help,
of Your Power, Your Love, and Your way of Life.
May I do Your will always.

Seventh Step Prayer
My Creator, I am now willing that you
should have all of me, both good and bad.
I pray that You remove from me
every single defect of character
which stands in the way of my usefulness
to You and my fellows.
Grant me the strength, as I go out from here,
to do Your bidding.

Eleventh Step Prayer
Lord, make me a channel of Your Peace,
that where there is hatred, I may bring love -
that where there is wrong,
I may bring the spirit of forgiveness -
that where there is error, I may bring truth -
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith -
that where there is despair, I may bring hope -
that where there are shadows, I may bring light -
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek
to comfort rather than be comforted -
to understand, than be understood -
to love, than 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.
