Dr Bob's 3rd Step Prayer on this Bookmark reads:

Dear God, I'm sorry about the mess I've made of my life. I want to turn away from all the wrong things I’ve ever done and all the wrong things I’ve ever been. Please forgive me for it all.

I know you have the power to change my life and can turn me into a winner. Thank You, God, for getting my attention long enough to interest me in trying it your way.

God, please take over the management of my life and everything about me. I am making this conscious decision to turn my will and my life over to your care and am asking you to please take over all parts of my life.

Please, God, move into my heart. However, you do it is your business, but make Yourself real inside me and fill my awful emptiness. Fill me with Your love and Holy Spirit and make me know Your will for me.

And now, God, help Yourself to me and keep on doing it. I'm not sure I want You to, but do it anyhow. I rejoice that I am now a part of Your people, that my uncertainty is gone forever and that You now have control of my will and my life.

Thank You, and I praise Your name. Amen.
