“Religion and TEAM-CBT are, in fact, attempting to do the exact same things ...

at the moment of recovery, a person’s religious beliefs are nearly always strengthened and deepened … many areas of overlap … between the teachings and methods of TEAM-CBT and religious beliefs."

An example of a  traditional prayer loved by many is the following one called the 

 

Peace Prayer

 

Lord, make me an instrument

of your peace:
where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy.

O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen.
