Step 11: Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious con-
tact with God as we understood Him praying only for the knowledge of His will
for us and the power to carry that out.
In the first chapter of the Twelve and Twelve it talks about some of the difficulties
some of us A.A.’s have with this step, but in past steps where we learn to accept a
power greater than ourselves; we begin self examination in Step 4 and 5 and realize
we need help from a Higher Power. This can come with daily simple prayer and med-
ication. Step 11 has a prayer by a non-alcoholic, it states some thoughts we can
think about.
Eleventh Step Prayer
Lord, make me a channel of thy peace!
That where there is hatred, I may bring love
That there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness
That were there is discord, I may bring harmony
That where there is error, I may bring truth
That where there is doubt, I may bring faith
That where there is despair, I may bring hope
That where there are shadows, I may bring light
That where there is sadness, I may bring joy
Lord grant that I may seek rather
To comfort than to be comforted
To understand, then to be understood
To love, than to be loved.
For
It is by self-forgetting that one finds, It is by forgiving that one is forgiven, It is by
dying that one awakens to Eternal Life.
We cannot be perfect, all humans make mistakes, but we can though prayer and
meditation, we can improve.
In Love and Service, Nancy L.
