The Serenity Prayer Broken Down #essentialsofrec #Recovery #Serenity #Prayer

The Serenity Prayer Broken Down 

GOD ....

Saying of this word I am admitting the existence of a Higher Power; a being far greater than myself.

GRANT...

Repeating  this word I am admitting that this Higher Power has the authority to bestow and give.

ME...

I am asking  for myself. The Bible states that if I ask, I shall be given. It is not wrong to ask for betterment of self for with the improvement of  character, people around me will be  happier.

SERENITY...

I am asking for calmness, composure, and peace in a life which will enable me to think straight and govern myself properly.

TO ACCEPT...

I am resigning myse
lf to conditions as they are right now. 

THE THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE...

I am accepting my lot in life as it is. Until I have the courage to change any part of my life I don't like, I must accept it and not accept it grudgingly.

COURAGE... 

I am asking for courage. I am asking for conditions to be different.

TO CHANGE... 

I am asking for a quality of spirit to face conditions without flinching.

THE THINGS I CAN...

I am asking for help to make the right decisions. Everything is not perfect in my life. I must continue to face reality and constantly work towards continued growth and progress.
WISDOM...

I am asking for the ability to form sound judgements in any and all matters.

TO KNOW...

I want to be able to understand clearly, truths of facts.


the DIFFERENCE...

I want to see things differently in my life so there can be some distinction. I need to sense a definite value in love over selfishness.
