(pg. 33-34, Twelve x Twelve)

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
3rd Step Prayer
God, I offer myself to Thee to build with me and to do with me as Thous wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.
