🙏 Prayer & Meditation for Recovery
At Unity for Recovery, we believe that prayer and meditation are not just spiritual practices—they are lifelines in the journey of addiction recovery, emotional healing, and spiritual renewal. This space is your calm place to pause, reflect, and reconnect with your Higher Power.
Whether you’re starting your day with a moment of silence or ending your night in prayer, this page offers guided reflections and tools to help you center yourself in serenity and grace.
🧘 Why Prayer & Meditation Matter in Recovery
Recovery isn’t just about abstaining—it’s about awakening. In programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Celebrate Recovery, Steps 10 and 11 encourage daily self-examination and conscious contact with God. Prayer helps us surrender. Meditation helps us listen.
- Prayer allows us to let go of fear, guilt, and shame
- Meditation invites stillness and clarity into our day
- Both practices help us reconnect with truth, peace, and purpose
📖 Daily Serenity Practice
"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference."
The Serenity Prayer is one of the most powerful spiritual tools in recovery. Say it aloud, write it in your journal, or use it to begin your meditation.
