1. Third Step Prayer

God, I offer myself to Thee — to build with me and to do with me as

Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy

will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear

witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of

life. May I do Thy will always!      

2. Seventh Step Prayer

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

3. Eleventh Step Prayer

Lord, make me a channel of Thy 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 discord, I may bring harmony;
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 rather to comfort, than to be comforted;
to understand, than to be understood;
to love, than to 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.

Amen.

4. Serenity Prayer-The Long Version

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference.  Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world As it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him Forever and ever in the next.  Amen.
