On today's episode, Lee and Michael discuss the role of prayer, how it works for them and some of the key prayers taught as part of the program of recovery.
"When I'm in my head I'm thinking about what I want, what I can get, or what I'm about to lose. But when I pray; when I align myself to this higher level of consciousness, I'm in a place of love and what I want to be in service to others and I think about how what I do impacts others. It's just a beautiful place to be." --Lee M.
Prayers Referenced During This Episode:

PRAYER: IT WORKS

It has been well said that "almost the only scoffers at prayer are those who never tried it enough." TWELVE STEPS AND TWELVE TRADITIONS, p. 97

Having grown up in an agnostic household, I felt somewhat foolish when I first tried praying. I knew there was a Higher Power working in my life -- how else was I staying sober? -- but I certainly wasn't convinced he/she/it wanted to hear my prayers. People who had what I wanted said prayer was an important part of practicing the program, so I persevered. With a commitment to daily prayer, I was amazed to find myself becoming more serene and comfortable with my place in the world. In other words, life became easier and less of a struggle. I'm still not sure who, or what, listens to my prayers, but I'd never stop saying them for the simple reason that they work.
