Serenity Prayer
God, I pray
to no longer
accept the things
I cannot change
but
through your
Power,
Love, and
Way of Life,
change
the things I cannot accept
with courage,
serenity, and
wisdom
Let Mother Mary's
"Let it be"
empower we
to stand up,
speak up,
show up,
shut up,
sit down,
silence today
trumpets tomorrow
"wise as serpents
gentle as doves"
help me listen
help me love
help me do
all with you
fueled by soul food,
our God of many names
all Power
to save,
go beyond blame
Help us out of
serenity sedation
"nothing I can do"
dead-end station
negation
of God's power
to transform
bring a storm
wake up, loves,
brothers and sisters,
my beautiful people,
the price is too high
overdosed on
"keep the head to the sky"
God with us asks
"Do you love me?"
here's the task:
tend-feed
my lambs, my sheep"
walks-talks like a duck?
call it a duck
we, a construct,
divinely made to
give a f***.
"Lack of power, that WAS our dilemma." - (Big Book page 45)
"We had a new employer. Being all powerful, God provided what we needed if we kept close to God and performed God's work well." (Big Book page 63)
"When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" He said to him, "yes, Lord; you know that I love you." He said to him, "Feed my lambs." He said to him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" He said to him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." He said to him, "Tend my sheep." He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, "Do you love me?" and he said to him, "Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you." Jesus s said to him, "Feed my sheep." (John 21:15-17)
