A
Prayer for each of the 12 Steps ~
~First Step Prayer~
Heavenly Father, I know in my heart that only you can restore me to sanity. I humbly ask that you remove all twisted thought and addictive behavior from me this day. Heal my spirit and restore in me a clear mind. ~Third Step Prayer~ (Page 63 - A. A. Big Book) 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! ~Fourth Step Prayer~ Dear God, It is I who have made my life a mess.I have done it, but I cannot undo it. My mistakes are mine, and I will begin a searching and fearless moral inventory. I will write down my wrongs, but I will also include that which is good. I pray for the strength to complete the task. ~Fifth Step Prayer~ Higher Power, My inventory has shown me who I am, yet I ask for Your help in admitting my wrongs to another person and to You. Assure me, and be with me, in this Step, for without this Step I cannot progress in my recovery. With Your help, I can do this, and I do it. ~Sixth Step Prayer~ Dear God, I am ready for Your help in removing from me the defects of character which I now realize are an obstacle to my recovery. Help me to continue being honest with myself and guide me toward spiritual and mental health. ~Seventh Step Prayer~ (Page 76 - A. A. Big Book) 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 characterwhichstands 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 ~Eighth Step Prayer~ Higher Power, I ask Your help in making my list of all those I have harmed. I will take responsibility for my mistakes, and be forgiving to others as You are forgiving to me. Grant me the willingness to begin my restitution. This I pray. ~Ninth Step Prayer~ Higher Power, I pray for the right attitude to make my amends, being ever mindful not to harm others in the process.I ask for Your guidance in making indirect amends.Most important, I will continue to make amends bystaying abstinent, helping others, and growing in spiritual progress. ~Tenth Step Prayer~ I pray I may continue: To grow in understanding and effectiveness; To take daily spot check inventories of myself; To correct mistakes when I make them; To take responsibility for my actions; To be ever aware of my negative and self-defeating attitudes and behaviors; To keep my willfulness in check;To always remember I need Your help; To keep love and tolerance of others as my code; And to continue in daily prayer how I can best serve You, my Higher Power. ~Eleventh Step Prayer~ Higher Power, As I understand You, I pray to keep my connection with You open and clear from the confusion of daily life. Through my prayers and meditation I ask especially for freedom from self-will, rationalization, and wishful thinking. I pray for the guidance of correct thought and positive action. Your will Higher Power, not mine, be done. ~Twelfth Step Prayer~ Dear God, My spiritual awakening continues to unfold. The help I have received I shall pass on and give to others, both in and out of the Fellowship. For this opportunity I am grateful. I pray most humbly to continue walking day by day on the road of spiritual progress. I pray for the inner strength and wisdom to practice the principles of this way of life in all I do and say. I need You, my friends, and the Program every hour of every day. This is a better way to live.
