Prayer for Serenity
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot 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 pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next . Amen


The Road to Recovery

Realize I'm not God; I admit that I am powerless to control my tendency to do the wrong thing and my life is unmanageable.

Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.

Consciously choose to commit all my life and will to Christ's care and control.

Openly examine and confess my faults to God, to myself, and to another person whom I trust.

Voluntarily submit to any and all changes God wants to make in my life.

Evaluate all my relationships: offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I've done to others when possible, without expecting any reward.

Reserve a daily time with God for self-examination, Bible reading, and prayer in order to know God and His will for my life and gain the power to do it.

Yield myself to be used by God to bring this Good News to others, both by my example and by my words.
