A Simple Prayer

How can I best serve Thee—Thy will (not mine) be done” (85). And, as emphasized on the same page, this is the proper use of my willpower.

Letter to My Higher Power

My loving Father, How did I “come to believe” that You could restore me to sanity? Actually, You know that I’ve known that for a long time. I came to believe that You wanted my healing even more than I did. It was part of the faith I was taught, but it was hidden until it became real to me in a moment of insight years ago; You know how it happened.

A Little Prayer

God grant me the sobriety to seek the truth from you; the faith to trust the answer; and the strength to follow through.
