this is my new prayer, when i need to know my HP is with me..When im completely freaked out about some kind of crisis thing, i say it repeatedly and it throws me into the solutions. This beats the hell outta of being stuck in "the problem" ..6 billion people and this "thing" loves each one of us...that a pretty big power! hehe

Hi Cindy,

Thanks for sharing your montra with us.  Amazing things really do work with that repetitive internal chanting, (that's my word for it) when it feels like we are truly walking throught those hot fire coals, my own is Please God, stay Close to me. When I let that contant chant keep going in my head, it surely does drown all the other noise out......to a victorious end with HIM.

What a great thought and remembrance to start this awesome day with...Thank You!

Hugs, Toni

My favorite prayers are the ones that are most simple. Thanks for sharing this, I will definitely start to use it.

I say the serenity prayer often & I also have my own prayer I say. Dear God please watch over me today, Guiding me in the right direction & help me stay sober today.
