“Prayer for A Trusted Servant”

adapted from another 12-Step fellowship


Higher Power, we ask for your guidance today as we carry out this work 

in service to the UA Fellowship  

Relieve us of the burdens of our egos and perfectionism  

Grant us the grace of humor and humility 

Remind us to place principles before personalities  

Help us to focus only on the greater good of the fellowship

Give us the faith to trust in You and the group conscience  

 Let us know that we are responsible only for doing the leg work, not the outcome

and 

Grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, 

courage to change the things we can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
