The Lord is my sponsor! I shall not want.
He maketh me to go to many meetings.
He leadeth me to sit back, relax, and listen with an open mind.
He restoreth my soul, my sanity, and my health.
He leadeth me in the paths of sobriety, serenity, and fellowship
for mine own sake.
He teacheth me to think, to take it easy, to live and let live, and
to do first things first.
He maketh me honest, humble, and grateful.
He teacheth me to accept the things I cannot change, to change
the things that I can, and giveth me the wisdom to know the
difference.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of despair, frustration,
guilt, and remorse, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me;
the program, thy way of life, the Twelve Steps, they comfort
me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine
enemies: rationalization, fear, anxiety, self-pity, and resent-
ment. Thou anointest my confused mind and jangled nerves
with knowledge, understanding, and hope. No longer am I
alone; neither am I afraid, nor sick, nor helpless, nor hopeless.
My cup runneth over.
Surely sobriety and serenity shall follow me every day of my life,
twenty-four hours at a time, as I surrender my will to Thine
and carry the message to others; and I will dwell in the house
of my Higher Power, as I understand him, daily.
Forever and ever.

[i]I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-. –John 10:11, 14 NIV
