Ribbon shel Olam, I offer myself to You - to build (?) with me and to do with me (my family as well?) as You will (You're actually doin' that anyway). Relieve me (please) of the bondage of self, that I may better do Your will (for that would go a long way). Take away my difficulties (ok; just some of 'em maybe), that victory over them....yada, yada, yada....take 'em away please, for I want 'em away.

Ya' see...the difficulties referenced here in this prayer is ego, vengeance, self-centeredness (?), haughtiness and others. I davened for my difficulties with son a and c and the wife - that's it for now.


I like it. 

They should revise the Artscroll.


wasn't going to say anything but i can't agree to singer here
maybe this is just how you post and if so ignore me but....
cords sounds like he is giving up and screaming for help is this the way we should be davening to HASHEM FOR HELP no wonder things are going hard it doesn't sound like we are serious that we need help......
tell me if i missed the boat...

Hashem loves all of us and the ones with BIG problems he loves even more

B'hatzlacha 

It's called honesty durin' a prayer.

Actually recitin' this prayer with meanin' is a step thatI allows one/me not to give up.

It is actually the way he thinks and prays.

AndI he will explain:

This is the third step prayer which I am sure you are aware of. The parenthesis are my thoughts and questions during the recital yesterday of that prayer. Life lately, on my side of the pond, has a lot of suckiness to it, a lot.

Perhaps you or others can answer some of those questionsI that cropped up in the middle. 

Yada, yada, yada.....in the prayerI it states that victory over them willI show thy power, thy love, etc. That is not what I was prayin' for. I was reachin' out to Him in pain. I was bein' brutally honest. Remove these pains (and not the defects at this time), for I want them away, not for any other motive, simply, because it stinks. 

I am not a regular prayer stam throughout the day; I should be. But, at least, when the ship is sinkin', I reach out to Him and not the hallucinations of all those who stretched out their hands to me in the past, and there were many that were extremely soothin'I. 

And I thank you for allowin' me the opportunity to embellish.

I have to say, Cords, that I appreciate your posts. I know that when I first came on GYE I thought that the guys with a lot of days probably had no problems in their lives and everything was perfect. Even now, I tend to objectify people who have some time. So I think it's a good example for me, and especially for others.

I also know that sometimes I need to share something vulnerable, painful, or explicit and people assume that I'm not doing well. Sometimes I just need to share! I'm a freaking lust addict, I'm going to have some explicit shares sometimes. It doesn't mean that I feel like I'm going to act out every time. This isn't really about Cordnoy, but it's a public forum. Thanks for letting me spew.

you totally funcused me here...please clarify if i'm wrong

1.yada yada...was a cry of pain nothing more
2.what questions the ? after some words?

also i was thinking all day about how i posted and need to apologize about the wording if i really thought  as i said and you said that you were crying out in pain i should have worded my post more carefully 

also i do not know anything about the 12 steps though it was obvious that this was a specific prayer...

II don't understand your question at all.

Please read the prayer in the 12 steps.

A simple Google search will find it.

If you want to have fun, ask Google through voice command. She'll say the whole prayer out loud to you.
