Hey Everyone,
I was in a meeting tonight, the people there were talking about a step 3 prayer. Does anyone know what the Step 3 Prayer is? If so, can you post it? Would like to read it. Thanks.
Love,
Liz
Hi Liz .
The Third step Prayer is on Page 63 of the Big Book
"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!"
God bless Lionel

N.A. 3rd Step Prayer
Take my will & my life,
Guide me in my recovery,
Show me how to live.
Jewish 3rd Step Prayer
Grant me inner peace..., Let my body be completely subordinate to my soul & have no other will or desire but to follow the desire of the holy soul, which is to do Your will.
Let peace reign between my soul & my body. Let my body be sanctified & purified until it becomes united with the holy soul & I carry out all Your commandments & do everything You want of me, body & soul, willingly & with great joy.
Let my body & soul unite in love & peace to do Your will sincerely, until I attain complete inner harmony & am ready to order my prayer before You perfectly. Let my prayer rise before You like the incense & perfect sacrifices offered by those who are whole & perfect.

Hi Liz.
Me again here are a few alternatives.
The Third Step Promises
When we sincerely took such a position, all sorts of remarkable things followed. We had a new Employer. Being all powerful, He provided what we needed---if we kept close to Him and performed His work well.
Established on such a footing we became less and less interested in ourselves, our little plans and designs. More and more we became interested in seeing what we could contribute to life.
As we felt new power flow in, as we enjoyed peace of mind, as we discovered we could face life successfully, as we became conscious of His presence, we began to lose our fear of today, tomorrow or the hereafter. We were reborn.

THIRD STEP PRAYER used by Dr. Bob Dear God,
I'm sorry about the mess I've made of my life.
I want to turn away from all the wrong things I've ever done and all the wrong things I've ever been. Please forgive me for it all.
I know You have the power to change my life and can turn me into a winner. Thank You, God for getting my attention long enough to interest me in trying it Your way.
God, please take over the management of my life and everything about me. I am making this conscious decision to turn my will and my life over to Your care and am asking You to please take over all parts of my life.
Please, God, move into my heart. However You do it is Your business, but make Yourself real inside me and fill my awful emptiness. Fill me with your love and Holy Spirit and make me know Your will for me. And now, God, help Yourself to me and keep on doing it. I'm not sure I want You to, but do it anyhow.
I rejoice that I am now a part of Your people, that my uncertainty is gone forever, and that You now have control of my will and my life. Thank You and I praise Your name. Amen.
God bless Lionel

Thanks Cynical One and Sober2day,
These prayers are great. I really appriate it. Sober2day, It's strange. Around 10 years ago there was a guy online in the AA online meetings, The room was called Friends of All. His Screen name was Sober2day, His real name was Scott. Unfortunately, Scott relapsed and couldn't handle it and took his own life. I have 28 days today, I finally am getting how important it is to get to meetings is. I am too scared to go back out.
Love,
Liz
