NOVENA

NOVENA

Grace of God Recovery House (GOGRH) fundraising month is during August. As we come to the end of the month, the GOGRH winds down in reflection and prayer, practicing the ancient tradition of Novena: devotional praying in Christianity, consisting of public prayers repeated for nine successive days. In the next nine days you will see prayers written and provided by staff that they use for their own recoveries and people affected from addictions. Some are common and regularly used prayers in the 12 step programs. ~GOGRH Director Mark Bennett

PRAYER

provided by Elly Majors. (Staff member)

God, thank you for allowing me to wake up this morning to continue my recovery.

Please help me to, as Jesus did, accept this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.

May I have the strength and conviction to do your will today.

Bless the GOG Recovery House, its residents, staff, and supporters.

Amen

Elly
