Thy Will Not Mine Be Done
PRAYERS FROM ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS
THIRD STEP PRAYER
God, I offer myself to Thee--to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of Life. May I do Thy will always!

SEVENTH STEP PRAYER
My Creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me the strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen.

PRAYERS FROM “A COURSE IN MIRACLES”
I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Him who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what
to do, because He Who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing
He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal.

ON FORGIVENESS
I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace.
I made the decision myself but I can also decide otherwise.
I want to decide otherwise because I want to be at peace.
I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo
all the consequences of my decision, if I will let Him.
I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me.

PRAYER OF ST. FRANCIS of ASSISI
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled
as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
