Prayers
The Twelve Steps encompass a sequence of transformative actions and attitudes that members are earnestly encouraged to embrace on their path to recovery. Within the context of AA, the term “prayers” commonly alludes to specific expressions, affirmations, and contemplative thoughts that constitute integral components of the program.
Prayers
Ninth Step Prayer
God, give me the strength and direction to do the right thing no matter what the consequences may be. Help me to consider others and not harm them in any way. Help me to consult with others before I take any actions that would cause me to be sorry. Help me to not repeat such behaviors. Show me the way of patience, tolerance, kindliness, and love, and help me live the spiritual life.
AMEN
Tenth Step Prayers
God, remove the selfishness, dishonesty, resentment, and fear that has cropped up in my life right now. Help me to discuss this with someone immediately and make amends quickly if I have harmed anyone. Help me to cease fighting anything and anyone. Show me where I may be helpful to someone else. Help me react sanely; not cocky or afraid. How can I best serve You – Your will, not mine be done.
AMEN
Eleventh Step Prayer
As we go through the day, we pause when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action. We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day, “Thy will be done.”
