I found this wonderful prayer from The 12 Step Prayer Book by Bill P.

The 23rd- 1/2 Psalm

The Lord is my Sponsor! I shall not want.
He directs me to go to many meetings.
He desires me to sit back, relax and listen with an open mind.
He restores my soul, my sanity , and my health.
He leads me in the paths of sobriety, serenity. and fellowship for my own sake.
He teaches me to think, to take it easy , to live and let live and to do first things first.
He makes me honest, humble, and grateful.
He teaches me to accept the things I cannot change, to change the things that I can, and gives me the wisdom to know the difference.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of despair, frustration, guilt, and remorse, i will fear no evil, for God is with me. The Program, God's way of life, the Twelve steps--they comfort me.
God prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies:
rationalization, fear,anxiety, self pity and resentment.
God anoints my confused mind and jangled nerves with knowledge, understanding, and hope. No longer am I alone, neither am I afraid, nor sick,nor helpless, nor hopeless. My cup runneth over.
Surely sobriety and serenity shall follow me every day of my life, twenty-four hours at a time, as I surrender my will to God and carry the message to others; and I will dwell in the house of my Higher Power as I understand Him, daily.
Forever and Ever.
Amen
