The spirit of recovery

I have a friend in recovery from a drug addiction. Over the past few years, I have come to learn about and love the process of recovery. I have come to better understand how each and every one of us is in recovery...that God is at work to recover us to our true identities in Him. Here's a recovery prayer that I especially like to pray.

God, I offer myself to you to build with me and do with me as you will. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do your will. Take away my difficulties that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of your power, your love, and your way of life. May I do your will always!
