Oops. Little typing error in an otherwise beautiful piece of art! For, not fro. Ooops. But I still like it because it’s true: it’s what I do: pray only for knowledge of God’s Will for me and the power to carry that out. Amen.
This is the prayer I prayed (truly praying for the first time) with all the will, effort and humility a broken man can muster (a long story) the night before my original introduction to Reality. The next day….WAPPO! I was 10 years sober at the time.
The Seventh Step Prayer
from page 76 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
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

Oh, and for all the beautiful idea oglers, another pithy slogan from AA -
“Faith without works is dead.”
"Gorgeous for God" is funny, inspiring, totally true and nothing short of life-changing. Lisa Natoli displays amazing clarity in her writing and has the gift of telling you how it is. She is an inspiring teacher who writes and speaks with absolute certainty coming from her own experience and understanding of A Course in Miracles - demonstrating a life of uncompromising commitment to the truth.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I don’t know if you are in the program or not, but if you are – you are a scant three years away from a kickass medalion.
