We know only too well where our self-will has taken us in the past. In the Eleventh Step, we seek to deepen and strengthen our personal relationship with God and to maintain the closeness and trust we have already achieved. Prayer and meditation are a means to this end. We rid ourselves of old notions about prayer and meditation, and learn not to complicate it. Prayer is talking to God.
Every good relationship depends on frequent, intimate, and honest sharing.
Our friendship with God is no exception. To learn that God is our friend, we talk to Him. We can do this anytime, anyplace, and it need not be long and drawn out. Even this is meaningless, however, without the right attitude to go with the action. We surrender ourselves to our loving God.
