STEP TWO:

CAME TO BELIEVE that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

"Our description of the alcoholic (addict), the chapter to the agnostic, and our personal adventures before and after make clear three pertinent ideas:

(a) That we were alcoholic (addict) and could not manage our own lives.

(b) That probably no human power could have relieved our alcoholism (addiction).

(c) That GOD could and would if HE were sought."

 

--Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous

Chapter 5 "How It Works" 

 

HE IS BEING SOUGHT THROUGH TESTIMONY AND PRAYER BELOW...

A PRAYER OFFERING YOURSELF TO GOD...

 

Take, O Lord, and receive

my entire liberty

my memory,

my understanding,

and my whole will.

 

All that I am,

all that I have,

You have given me

and I will give it back again to You

to be disposed of

according to Your good pleasure.

 

Give me only Your love

and Your grace;

with You I am rich enough.

 

--Ignatius  Loyola

 

 

A PRAYER FOR THE RESTLESS HEART

You awaken us to delight in Your praise;

for You have made us for Yourself, 

and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.

 

--Augustine
