The Magnitude of the Serenity Prayer

The Serenity Prayer is a tool to be used on a daily basis in our lives of recovery. The Serenity Prayer takes the pressure off of us and puts it all on God. Stressful situations don't always turn out the way we desire, therefore, it prepares us for God's will.

The Serenity Prayer permits God to instantly give us a quietness or stillness that will allow us to open our hearts and minds to be receptive to God's changes for our lives. Now, let’s look carefully at the Serenity Prayer--line by line.

God,
I give you permission to… Grant me the
Peace... Serenity, to accept things I cannot change,
Boldness... Courage to change the things I can, and the
Good Judgment with No Denial... Wisdom to know the difference
Patience to wait on the Lord for the things that take time…Living one day at a time
Appreciation/Gratitude... Enjoying one moment at a time, and
Tolerance/Open-Mindedness... Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace:
Lenience/Mercy on Self & others...Taking, as Jesus did this sinful world; as it is not as I would have it,
Confidence/Childlike Faith...Trusting that you will make all things right
Submission--Let Go & Let God...If I surrender to Your will; so that I may be
Freedom--God's yoke is easy & burdens are light...Reasonably happy in this life and
Proclamation--joyfully acknowledged as Truth that Jesus Christ died for my sins & I will live... Supremely happy with You forever in the next. AMEN

Don't forget to use your tool!

Love,
Lady O

Search And Open Your Heart

" Let me express my anguish. Let me be free to speak out of the bitterness of my soul."
  Job 7:11,TLB


When I experienced my hurt, my traumatic event, the Book of Job was my close..close..close..close(did I say close..lol)friend.

"Then the Lord said to satan, "Have you considered my servant Job?.....Job 1:8,NIV

When I read that passage, I said out loud, "WHAT", the Lord had a conversation with satan about ME. I was so hurt and deeply wounded. My hurt turned into fear and my fear turned into isolation from everyone including the Lord. After a while, I experinced a crazy feeling, I began to miss the Lord, my Father and so I started talking to Him again but, I was angry, bitter and full of anguish.

In our second book guys, you will have to Search And Open Your Heart.

Enlarged Thru Grace

I am so excited for the enlargement of our minds and hearts, which has intensified our spiritual walk with the Trinity.

In our next chapters, we will be centering on our balance between good and wrong behaviors. The key is to remember as we work through each lesson be mindful that we are operating in "God's Grace" with no condemnation.

Condemnation = guilt & shame = 0 growth.

Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwelling: Do not spare: Lengthen your cords, and strengthen your stakes. For you shall expand to the right and to the left and your descendants will inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited. Isaiah 54: 1-3 (NIV)

Congradulations!

We have Stepped out of Denial!

God's love and grace has brought to surface many painful things from our past without condemnation.

The first book--Stepping out of Denial into God's Grace is complete after months of working to hollow out past events that caused us hurts, habits, and hang-ups. I am rejoicing with everyone.

Now we are about to embark upon the next level towards wholeness through the second book --Taking an Honest and Spiritual Inventory.

Love,

Lady O
