Week 2 - Third Step Prayer

We get addicted to our own power, our false programs for happiness. We get stuck in the bondage of self. We need a new way. Paul, in the New Testament, said to his friends: “Take a good look at who you were when you got called into this life…it wasn’t through strength but weakness.” Weakness is strength? God is experienced there? That’s a new way, a new wisdom, a new mode of being. The 3rd Step prayer invites us into that same new way.

Matt Nawrocki will join me as a Guest Storyteller. I’ve never encountered someone who loves the 3rd step prayer as much as Matt—this prayer hangs in his home. Just over 11 years ago, Matt was dying in his addiction. He had come to the end of his own sources. He says the way out of my self is through this prayer: “I started living this prayer on a daily basis, and the light turned on.”
