The Lord is My Sponsor


The Lord is my sponsor, I shall not want.
He maketh me go to many meetings.
He leadeth me to sit back, relax and listen with an open mind.
He restoreth my soul, my sanity and health.
He leadeth me in paths of serenity and fellowship for my sake.
He teacheth me to think, take it easy, to live and let live, and
do first things first.
He maketh me honest, humble and grateful.
He teacheth me to accept the things I cannot change,
to change the things I can, and giveth me the wisdom
to know the difference.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of despair, frustration,
guilt and remorse, I will fear no evil.
For thou art with me.
The program, the way of life, the twelve steps, they comfort me.
Thou prepatest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies - which are rationalization, fear, anxiety, selfpity,
and resentment. Thou anointest my confused mind and jangled nerves with
knowledge, understanding, and hope.
No longer am I alone, neither am I afraid or sick or hopeless.
Surely serenity shall follow me every day of my life, 25 hours
at a time; as I surrender my will to thee, and carry the
message to others.
I will dwell in the house of the Higher Power, as I understand
Him, daily, forever and ever.
