The Serenity Prayer and Third Step Prayer in Soul Recovery

I have been using the Serenity and Third Step Prayers as part of my Soul Recovery tool box.  These prayers are not just for the rooms of 12 step and Al-Anon- these prayers are for anyone interested in a happier and healthier emotional live, otherwise known as Soul Recovery.  I still say both of these prayers at least once a day, and in early recovery it was a mantra to get me past complete overwhelm. This episode talks about how these prayers have helped shift and change my life for the better and how to use them in Soul Recovery.

I promised in the episode to include them in the show notes, so here they are.   As Soul Recovery is non-religious, please use what ever terms feel best for you in exchange for (God).

Serenity Prayer: (As used in 12 step recovery)
"(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."

Third Step Prayer: (AA 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.”
