CoDA Prayers

CoDA Opening Prayer

In the spirit of love and truth,we ask our Higher Power to guide us as we share our experience, strength, and hope.

We open our hearts to the light of wisdom,
the warmth of love, and the joy of acceptance.

CoDA Healing Prayer

Higher Power, Thank you for showing me this memory. It is a painful one. Thank you for starting to uncover this part of me.

Higher Power, I welcome your healing light to shine on all corners of this memory so that I can love this part of me, too.

CoDA Service Prayer

Higher Power, please help us stay mindful in our service work,

reminding us that we do not seek personal power, nor do we govern

or control others to advance our personal agendas. Instead, we practice:

* Anonymity

* Humility

* Tolerance

* Gratitude

* Amends, and

* Forgiveness

CoDA Recovery Prayer

God* help me to:
Accept other people as they are,
Recognize my own feelings,
Meet my own needs, and
Love myself just as I am.

CoDA Closing Prayer

We thank our Higher Power,
for all that we have received from this meeting.
As we close, may we take with us
the wisdom, love, acceptance, and hope of recovery.
