God, give me some #%&%#@! serenity!!!

Our experience shows that with large committees not everyone will get along. Not everyone will have the same goals in mind when it comes to the conference. Not everyone will practice principles before personalities. The sole purpose of this committee is to make sure we keep our 12th tradition in the forefront of all our business matters.

Our 12th Tradition states:
Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions,
ever reminding us to place principles before personalities

There are many different prayers we use for our meeting. here are some examples:

The Lords Prayer

Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day, our daily bread, forgive us our trespasses as we forigive those who treaspass against us.And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever and ever. amen.

The Serenity Prayer

God, grant me the serenity, to accept the thing i cannot change, the courage to change the things that i can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

The Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace;

that where there is hatred, I may bring love;

that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness;

that where there is discord, I may bring harmony;

that where there is error, I may bring truth;

that where there is doubt, I may bring faith;

that where there is despair, I may bring hope;

that where there are shadows, I may bring light;

that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.

Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted;

to understand, than to be understood;

to love, than to be loved.

For it is by self-forgetting that one finds.

It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.

It is by dying that one awakens to eternal life.

Amen.

The 7th step prayer

"My creator, I am now willing that you should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that you now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to you and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do your bidding. Amen."
