The Lord is my sponsor! I shall not
want.
He maketh me to go to many meetings.
He leadeth me to sit back, relax,
and listen
with an open mind.
He restoreth my sould, my sanity,
and my health.
He leadeth me in the paths of recovery,
serenity,
and fellowship for mine own sake.
He teacheth me to think to take it
easy, to live
and let live, and to do first things
first.
He maketh me honest, humble, and grateful.
He teacheth me to accept the things
I cannot change,
to change the things that I can, and
giveth me the
wisdom to know the difference.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of despair,
frustration, guilt, and remorse, I
will fear no eveil,
for Thou art with me; the Program,
they way of life,
the Twelve Steps, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in
the presence
of mine enemies; rationalization,
fear, anxiety,
self-pity, and resentment. Thou
annointest my
confused mind and jangled nerves with
the
knowledge, understanding, and hope.
No
longer am I alone; neither am I afraid,
nor sick,
nor helpless, onr hopeless.
My cup runneth over.
Surely recovery and serenity shall
follow me
every day of my life, twenty-four
hours a day,
one day at a time, as I surrender
my will to
Thine and carry the message of recovery
to others; and I will dwell in the
house of my
Higher Power, as I understand Him,
daily.
Forever and Ever.
