God I offer myself to Thee---to build with me
and do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the
bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will.
Take away my difficulties, that victory over them
may bear witness to those I would help of Thy
Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life.
May I do Thy will always!

"The key to my serenity today is directly linked to my ability to stay in the moment—to be in the present."
And this is because God is only here with me now. As soon as my thoughts take me away from the present, and I begin to either dwell on the past and think of what could have been or regret what I did or didn't do, or when I begin to obsess on the future and worry about what will or won't happen, I have abandoned God and I'm all alone.

And by myself I am powerless and quickly become overwhelmed by fear and worry or by anger and resentment.

Today, my serenity is directly linked to my relationship with my higher power, and I strengthen this relationship throughout the day by returning to the present - where God is.

One of my favorite ways of doing this is to follow the advice on page 87 of the Big Book: "As we go through the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action. We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day 'Thy will be done.'"
As soon as I bring myself back to the present, and get connected to my Higher Power, serenity returns because I know that right now, with God present, everything is always ok

Intend to Have a Great Day

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. "H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today." So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. "Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail." So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"
