Of course, I know they can't because they are spiritual groups and not Christ-centered groups. But the full prayer has so much more in it. (Celebrate Recovery uses the full prayer in its 12 step program.)<br /><br />Here it is:<br /><br />God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace; taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is; not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. AMEN (by Reinhold Niebuhr)<br /><br />I used the full prayer in my novel about alcoholism, <i>Beyond the Shadows</i>.<br /><br />RobinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9665353.post-15761671791810207032006-11-28T12:00:00.000-06:002006-11-28T12:00:00.000-06:00This is GREAT!
