Self Acceptance Prayor

[Raya]

My spronsor gave this to me today, and told me to read it daily.
Check it out.:275:

ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance is the answer to all my problems today.
When I am disturbed, it is because I find some person, place, thing, or situation
-some fact of my life-
unacceptable to me and I can find no serenity
untill I accept that person, place, thing, or situation
as being exactly the way it is supposed to be at this moment.

Nothing, absolutely nothing happens in God's world by misteak.
Untill I could accept my addiction, I could not stay clean;
unless I accept life completely on life's terms, I cannnot be happy.
I need to concentrate not so much on what needs to be changed in the world,
as on what needs to be changed in me and my attitudes.

Here's a thought;
'When I complain about me or others I am complaining about God's handiwork.
I am saying that I know better than God.'

Hi Raya , I struggled with this for awhile myself , something that helped me was reading some of our "just for today" readings .. if you have the book .. in the very back there's an "index" of topics . & the page ##'s of readings that go with that topic ..awhile back I posted all the ones in book here that went with self acceptance
