Transcript

Third step prayer adapted.

Spirit,

I offer myself to you to mold me,

Guide me,

And work through me in ways that serve the highest good.

Release me from all the patterns that trap me in ego and fear,

Including self-seeking,

Dishonesty,

Defensiveness,

And all the old habits that keep me disconnected so I may show up with courage,

Compassion,

Love,

And purpose.

Give me strength to meet my challenges with steadiness and grace so that the way I live today becomes a living reminder to others of your wisdom,

Your love,

And your way of life.

May I move through this day in ways that honor the spirit within and around me.

Thank you.

You
