The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer that many of us say at the close of our meetings. For whatever reason, it’s the prayer that the early AA’s chose to recite together. Although this prayer carries a connection to some specific religious circles, it also has a sense of universality. We feel connected as we circle to together and share its familiar words in the intimacy of our recovery groups.
As an addict, the words “give us this day our daily bread” mean a great deal to me. They remind me of my utter dependence on God. They help me to remember my need to live life one day at a time. They remind me that my Higher Power desires to have me come on a daily basis to ask for my needs to be met. I ask for this day and for this day, my God supplies.
