Third Step Prayer

God, I offer myself to you
To build with me and do with me as you will
Relieve me of the bondage of self so that I may better do your will
Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of your power, your love, and your way of life
May I do your will always.

I ask for the power of the universe to heal me.
To take away my insane thoughts.
To be able to observe the beauty and intimate details that surround me each and every moment.
I yearn to be a bigger part of my community.
There is so much beauty and so much love to give and receive.
I am embraced by love and friendship every day.
I ask the universe to help quash my ego so that I may better do the work and will of God.
Guide me to the truth and allow me to realize my full potential as a creator.
Amen.

Ego, step aside

God, on this beautiful day
I ask you to allow me to put my ego aside
So that I may perform your will and bring peace of mind to the world around me.
Let this be a day of learning and of understanding my place in life and where I need to go from here.
Give me the strength to enjoy life's little pleasures and the ability to set little inconveniences or minor disruptions back into the empty space where they belong.
They do not belong in my energy field.
I deserve happiness for happiness's sake.
I deserve love for love's sake.
I deserve peace for peace's sake.
I deserve serenity for serenity's sake.
I deserve to live for God's sake.

Bring It All Back

God, I ask of you to grant me the knowledge to live and abide by your will.
I could not keep living on the path I was on before I had the revelation
That to live, I had to die.
My death was more of a metamorphosis than an extinction.
I am slowly rising out of the cocoon, the coffin of suffering and self inflicted agony.
I see the light. I was guided by you into the rooms and you have placed individuals into my life that I would never dream of even knowing before I awoke.
Thank you for this beautiful gift. Thank you for allowing me to see the peace and serenity in myself.
I am still in a phase of musical chairs, rushing around and around without knowing exactly when to stop or where to stake my claim. But I know that I am being guided.
I hear almost every day, "You are on the right path."
And I sincerely believe it, because I never used to hear that before.
I truly am on the right path. For this next short phase of my life, please allow me the peace and tranquility of thought so that I may do your will and grant love to those around me. I seek creativity and absence of thought.
I trust that you will show me how. Please guide me how to read the signs. I miss them so often. I will keep my eyes open.
79 days.

God Grant Me The Serenity

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change
Courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.
