The Twelve Steps for Children
(Adapted by Ephesians Life Ministry, Inc.)
- I can't - I am powerless over alcohol, drugs and other people's behavior.
- You can - God, you can help. I am not alone.
- Please, do - I have made a decision to let God and my friend Jesus, help me.
- I talk, write and draw pictures about the things I like and don't like about myself.
- I share my feelings and thoughts with God and someone I trust.
- I am ready to become a healthier person.
- I ask God to help me become more like him.
- I become aware of the people I hurt. I am willing to say, "I'm sorry."
- I ask people to forgive me when I hurt them. I ask God to forgive me too.
- I look at myself everyday to see the things I think and do. When I am wrong, I say so.
- I ask God, "What do you want me to do?" I listen for His answers, His directions, and seek His power to do His will.
- I believe in God and His love for me. I try to show His love in my actions all the time.
