Do I trust my higher power to work it out? Do I trust my Higher Power to take care of my A? Do I trust my Higher Power to protect and not just punish my A? Do I trust my higher power to send me someone to share my life...?
I trust my HP. I don't think I would have made it without my HP. These past few months have been so crazy for me. That's one of the reasons I came to Alanon. Because my life had become unmangiable. I realized I could no longer control my life on my own. I tried and it just didn't work. Once I surrenderd to my HP and when I do things always seem to work out for the best. HP knows where we need to be. Things are still not great but I know HP has a plan for me.
I too have been thinking on this and am working step 3 for the answer.
It reminds us that our old ideas call out to us to return to self will, and once again we attempt to play God in our lives. Old doubts challenging our new thinking.Losing hope we question our ability to change.
I trust my HP to meet all my needs, I will recieve everything I need for today, my HP will be with me all the way.
Your HP will work it all out for you, Your A's HP will take care of them, Share your life with your HP all will be well.
Keep coming back taking the suggestions, open minded on the responses, face to face meetings and literature and more and you may discover as I did that it was about me living the will of my Higher Power rather than the reverse. I begged, pleaded, swore, ranted and raved and got nothing. I tantrumed, cried, screamed and scratched still nothing. I learned that answers come when I am most quiet and serene, peaceful and humble and open to my HP's will for me and voice. It takes time and after more time and practice trust comes willfully. To not trust for me would be like feeling alone again with nothing to feel but fear. If you have any of our daily readers; ODAT, Courage to Change, Hope for Today or others; look up trust in the index and read on.
