The Lord's Prayer for Addicts

This morning this prayer came to mind.  I don't mean to suggest a different Lord's prayer and I never use different wording when I say the Lord's prayer but thinking about the meaning of each statement led me to think about this.

Our Father who art in Heaven,
Awesome be thy name,
Thy sanity come,
Thy will be done,
In reality, as it is in spirit,
Give us this day our daily strength,
and, forgive us our shortcomings,
as we forgive those who offend us,
Lead us, not into temptation,
but deliver us from our addiction,
For Thine is the power, peace, happiness,
and sense of direction,
Amen
