Print Friendly, PDF & Email

Step 3: Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.

Submission Prayer

Higher Power, I give this day to you.
Establish the work of my hands,
the steps of my feet,
the words of my mouth,
the direction of my gaze,
the thoughts of my mind,
and the attitude of my heart.
