The Higher Power Prayer is

  Higher Power
    Here with me now
    Humbly I seek your grace.
    All in your care
    Your will be done
    Through me as it is through others.
    Give me today hope and courage
    To forgive all past transgressions
    As I surrender my fears and resentments.
    And strengthen me against temptation
    But free me to let go control.
    Fill my spirit with calm, and compassion, and clarity
    To carry to others.
    Amen.

A Few Words About The Higher Power Prayer...

The Higher Power Prayer is -
to pray to the god of your understanding -
to place your will in the care of your Higher Power -
to ask for guidance on the path to recovery -
to pray as an alternative to the Lord's Prayer -
to find strength and calm in the midst of fear.

The first line of the Higher Power Prayer may be substituted with your name for your god, such as Dear God, Divine Mother, Great Spirit, Heavenly Father, Holy One, Inward Light, O Goddess, Sacred Creator, Universal Essence.

The sounds, rhythms, and a few of the words of the Higher Power Prayer are intentionally a close match to those of the Lord's Prayer, so that people may join together in prayer, each one saying the prayer of their own choosing at the same time without disturbing one another.

The Higher Power Prayer is humbly offered as a gift to the community of people in recovery from alcoholism, addiction, and dysfunction; to their families and friends; and to all those seeking a nondenominational prayer for the god of their understanding.
