An appropriate theme I suspect, given that today is my 3rd AA birthday. I'm just glad still to be here and not in a grave and glad to be sober. I had a good meeting at my home group tonight and came across this prayer that some might say sums up what it means to trust in your Higher Power:
“Lord, give me the strength to
greet the coming day in peace.
Help me in all things to rely on your
holy will.
Reveal your will to me every hour of the day.
Bless my
dealings with all people.
Teach me to treat all people who come to me
throughout the day
with peace of soul and with firm conviction
that your
will governs all.
In all my deeds and words guide my thoughts and
feelings.
In unexpected events, let me not forget that all are sent by
you.
Teach me to act firmly and wisely,
without embittering and
embarrassing others.
Give me the physical strength to bear the labours of
this day.
Direct my will, teach me to pray,
and you yourself, pray in
me. Amen.”
Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow
Happy Aniversary well done.
