Prayers as Affirmations
During our weekly Women's Way Through The 12 Steps group, the book talked about using the Serenity Prayer as an affirmation. This gave the person a sense of humility, reminding them that there's only so much they can control.
How mindful is that and something I've been doing but didn't realize it before. That's why we go to meetings, right?
We also talked about the long version of the serenity prayer. Here it is below if you don't know it. Happy affirming!
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.
