Step 2: We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

— From the 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous Whenever I get depressed by a lack of spiritual progress, I realize that my very dismay is a sign of progress.

— Philip Yancey

“Prayer of Being” Mark Hayes Sanctuary Choir Be in my life, be in my breath; Be in my walk, be in my rest.

Be in this humble heart of mine; Be ever present in my mind.

Be in my hands, be in my feet; be in my eyes and in my speech.

Be in the smile I give away; Be in each healing word I say.

Be in my work, be in my play; Be in the struggles of each day.

Be in my joy, be in my pain; be in my loss, be in my gain.

Be in my thoughts, be in my song; Be in my spirit all day long.

Be in my prayers, at dawn’s first light; be in my dreams, all through the night.

Amen. The prayer of my heart forever shall be; I in You and You in me.
