On my own, I am inclined to drink.
On my own, I am inclined to sin.
I need someone to help me.
With God as my Higher Power, I can overcome my sinful nature,
I can escape from temptations and everything else my sinful nature might try to trip me up.
A prayer:
“Lord, too often I don’t pay attention to what you are trying to teach me.
Too often I am caught up in my ‘bondage to self’.
Instead of living in the real world of faith,
I accept and live in the fantasy world presented by society – a world without you,
a world that ignores the consequence of sin,
a world without meaning, filled with short-lived pleasures.
Help me accept you, hear you and live in your world, consistently.”
