To my friends who are struggling,,,a prayer.

Dear God
I cannot stop drinking, using, eating, worring..(say your own).
I have tried.
I have tried so hard.
And still, Lord, I go back and do it all again though I hate myself for doing it.
I cannot stop,
I cannot stop.
You dear God, are my refuge and security and strenght when I cannot go on.
Please lift me up and share Your strength with me.
Please lift this burden from me, the burden of this addiction, the pain of this self-hatred, the power of this demon within me.
I do not have the power on my own to fight this beast.
But You dear God do.
You do.
I praise Your strength and power and love.
Please give it to me.
Please take away my desire to drink (use, eat, worrry etc.)
Please take it away,
Please take it away.
I surrender all,
I lay myself in your arms.
Please give me a miracle.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Amen

This prayer I have used myself in the past and it has given me peace- may it also give you peace!
it is from Marianne Williamson's "Illuminata- A Return To Prayer."
One day at a time,
Karie
