This prayer is over 30 years old ! Do not know if anyone has heard it before, or if it is still around, but it IS beautiful ! Passing it along, as I just stumbled across it this week.
Six Step Prayer
God, I want to get ready to let go of this OLD idea. But it's been around a LONG time and I'm USED to it. I don't know what will take it's place if I let go of it. I know that it is not serving me well, but I'm not sure what it is that I'll do if I don't have it. It's a little scary. I'm afraid to let go into that unknown having no idea what will be there.
God, set my ego aside and let me be with you. Give me an intuitive thought as to what attitude, belief, or conduct will take the place of this OLD idea. I am now asked to be still, wait and listen for you to speak to my heart.
Thanks for sharing this. It is absolutely beautiful! It sure hits how real it is too for us to replace new with the old too. your friend in recovery, cdb :) xoxoxoxoxo
