ORIGINAL THIRD STEP PRAYER as 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. How ever 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 praise Your name.
Amen.
