Learning to Pray
Prayer is an important component of recovery. We begin each day by praying for another day of sobriety, and ask God for serenity, courage, and wisdom. Some complain they do not know how to pray. Just say the words even if you don't have the feeling. The feeling will come eventually. Sometimes we cannot ask for help from anyone, even God, because we must do everything ourselves a characteristic of active addiction. Why not pray for the ability to pray? Dear God, please help me reach You. Please help me pray. We can pray in order to stimulate our desire to pray.
