September 2nd – A Message to Higher Power
“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
– Serenity Prayer, Life with Hope, third edition, page 199
Higher power, give me the will to keep going.
To live this life I live.
Even when times get hard, give me the strength and courage to strive again.
Higher power, I thank you for letting me be a child of yours.
I thank you for removing the darkness, and clouds from my mind.
For letting me have the light of life.
Higher power, I thank you for the new journey of life in sobriety.
Higher power, I thank you for letting me become myself again.
Final thought: Today, I am me again.
