God,
I'm directing my thoughts outward, towards you. This is a strange activity for me. I've been so determined to do everything on my own, it's my self centered nature. I'll start with a prayer:
God please let me set aside everything I think I know about sobriety, life, and you, so I may be open to a new experience.
While saying that prayer, a thought came and went in regards to my nature. How I resolve to exercise everyday, eat healthy everyday, abstain, quit smoking, write more music, put my all into school, be a happier person. I've tried over and over, trying to do these things on my own. And I've failed over and over. Please give me the serenity, openness, and honesty that I need to be a good person.
"God, I offer myself to thee-- to build with me and to do with me as thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of thy power, thy love, and thy way of life. May I do thy will always!"
