Can say the words by prayer, but if I am not willing to quit, I am shooting blanks. The words have no meaning, and I have to pray for the willingness to be willing.

The Serenity Prayer

GOD...
With the saying of this word, I am admitting the existence of a Higher Power; a being far greater than I.

GRANT...
With the repeating of this second word, I am admitting that a Higher Power is an authority who can bestow and give.

ME...
I am asking something for myself. If I ask, I shall be given. It is not wrong to ask for betterment of myself, for with the improvement of my character, people around me will be made happier.

the SERENITY...
I am asking for calmness, composure and peace in my life which will enable me to think straight and govern myself properly.

to ACCEPT.....
I am resigning myself to conditions as they are right now, rather than fight for how I want them to be.

the THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE...
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 resentment.

COURAGE...
I am asking for conditions to be different, and for me to have the faith I need to make the changes in myself.

to CHANGE...
I am asking for a quality of spirit to become aware of those things I do that do not serve me in my recovery.

the THINGS I CAN...
I am asking for my Higher Power's guidance in making the right decisions. Everything in my life is not perfect, I must continue to face reality and constantly work towards continued growth and recovery.

WISDOM....
I am asking HP to give me the ability to form sound judgments in any and all matters.

to KNOW...
I want to be able to understand clearly and see the reality in any situation.

the DIFFERENCE...
I want to see things differently in my life so there can be some distinction. I need to sense a definite value in love over selfishness, where my will gets in the way of my Higher Power's will.
