God's will for us becomes our own true will for ourselves."
Basic Text, p. 46
The Twelve Steps are a path to spiritual awakening. This awakening
takes the form of a developing relationship with a loving Higher
Power. Each succeeding step strengthens that relationship. As we
continue to work the steps, the relationship grows, becoming ever more
important in our lives.
In the course of working the steps, we make a personal decision to
allow a loving Higher Power to direct us. That guidance is always
available; we need only the patience to seek it. Often, that guidance
manifests itself in the inner wisdom we call our conscience.
When we open our hearts wide enough to sense our Higher Power's
guidance, we feel a calm serenity. This peace is the beacon that
guides us through our troubled feelings, providing clear direction
when our minds are busy and confused. When we seek and follow God's
will in our lives, we find the contentment and joy that often elude us
when we strike out on our own. Fear or doubt may plague us when we
attempt to carry out our Higher Power's will, but we've learned to
trust the moment of clarity. Our greatest happiness lies in following
the will of our loving God.
Just for today: I will seek to strengthen my relationship with my
Higher Power. I know from experience that knowledge of my Higher
Power's will provides a sense of clarity, direction, and peace.
