Prayers of Recovery

 
imagePrayer is a vital part of any recovery.  The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous says, that "lack of power was our dilemma" and that we "needed to find a Power by which we could live."  Prayers in the evening and in the morning are part of Step work.  If one isn't praying, they are relying on their own power.  Here are some prayers that can be prayed.

God,

Please help me set aside

everything I think I know

and a new experience

with myself, my disease,

these steps, and especially You.
