A Prayer for Fortitude

Higher Power, God, Allah, Universe,
Friends, family, and fellowship:
Guide me towards a sober, compassionate life.
Remove the self-pity and despair,
Replace it with care for others.
I can't do this alone but I have to do the work.
Grant me strength and fortitude in this war.
Lead me out of the shadows of ego
And into the arms of serenity.
When I want to die, remind me to breathe
And embrace the oxygen running through my veins.
Please give me the courage to commit and live
A life grounded in recovery.
Help me learn to love myself,
And be of service to my fellow humans.
A Prayer for Fortitude
