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;
And 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.

 

amen

this is one of my favorite prays.
At my Sunday meeting it is on the
back wall. I sit before the meeting
and read it and then again reread it.
I get a lot of inner peace from this
pray.
I Thank God everyday for this
New Life I have found in
the rooms of A. A.
