Today’s Gift from Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is:
Making a decision to let God give us guidance eases our burdens.
Our first introduction to Step Three scares many of us. “You mean I can’t do what I want anymore, that I’m no longer in charge of me?” we ask. What we come to understand from the shared wisdom of other people is that a caring God, however we define God, will give us comfort, direction, and the sense that we are no longer ever alone. And once we have grown used to relying on our Higher Power for help, we won’t want to go back to how we lived before.
How many years did we struggle to make the right decision? Oftentimes our decisions affected more people than just ourselves. We fretted over the long-term effects. But no longer do we need to lose sleep over any situation. Our reliance on the guidance we have been promised will take the worry out of our lives, giving us time to accomplish goals that have been long forgotten.
I feel as if I’ve been given a new lease on life. What a good landlord my Higher Power is.
