JUST FOR
TODAY! -- Step Three -- Will
STEP THREE: Involves a
decision to let GOD be in charge of My Life.
I make a decision to turn my
will and my life over to the care of GOD through Jesus
Christ
"Therefore, I urge you,
brothers, in view of GOD’s mercy, to offer your bodies
as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to GOD - which
is your spiritual worship." -- Romans 12:1
Promise:
We will comprehend the word serenity and we will know
peace.
Third Step Prayer~ (Page 63
- A. A. Big Book)
God, I offer myself to Thee
To build with me and to do
with me as Thou wilt.
Relieve me of the bondage of
self, that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties,
that victory over them may
bear
witness to those I would
help of Thy Power,
Thy Love and
Thy Way of life,
May I do Thy will always!
STEP THREE: Made a decision
to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God
as we understood Him.
"In all times of emotional
disturbance or indecision, we can pause, ask for quiet,
and in the stillness simply say: "God grant me the
serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage
to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the
difference. Thy will, not mine, be done."
c. 1952, Twelve Steps and
Twelve Traditions, page 41

Devotional
**********************************
One of the
greatest decisions any of us ever made concerned our
Third Step. This decision seemed to go against
everything we wanted to do. We all know so well that
every time we tried to manage our own lives, we produced
misery and heartache. Human beings seem created to
fight the decision to give up control. Yet this
decision in Step Three, very hard for us to make, was
one of the greatest decisions we ever made. When we did
our Third Step, we merely embraced the truth. When we
decided to let God be God, we were able to participate
in the plan. Whenever we let go and let God, we become
a player on a team that will always win.
May my cry come before you,
O LORD;
give me understanding
according to your word.
May my supplication come
before you;
deliver me according to
your promise.
May my lips overflow with
praise,
for you teach me your
decrees.
May my tongue sing of your
word,
for all your commands are
righteous.
May your hand be ready to
help me,
for I have chosen your
precepts.
I long for your salvation, O
LORD,
and your law is my
delight. -- Psalm 119:169-174

Prayer of commitment to
GOD:
Dear Jesus,
Thank YOU for making me and
loving me,
even when I ignored you and
gone my own way.
I realize I need You in my
life
and I’m sorry for my past
behavior.
I ask You to forgive me.
As much as I know how, I
want to follow You from now on.
Please come into my life and
make me a new person
inside.
I accept Your gift of
salvation.
Please help me to grow now
as a Christian.
Amen.
God, Take my will and my
life. Guide me in my recovery.
Show me how to live. (the
step on p. 59 BB)
AMEN
