It is good for me to remember that I don't have all the answers and that I am powerless over many things in my life. And, it is comforting to realize that Jesus too was totally dependent on His Father( John 5:19,30;8:28 ), just as I am dependent upon Jesus.( John 15:5 )

My carnal nature wants to take control of my life and live it MY WAY. But experience has taught me that this attitude only brings me, and others, more pain. Peace comes in recognizing my dependency, choosing to continually ask God for guidance, then choosing to follow as He leads (Steps 1-3). When I do this, life is always worth living :-)

Often, it helps to talk these things through in a safe environment with others, who also are able and willing to be honest about themselves and their faults. We confess our sins to God ( 1John 1:9 ) but we also confess our faults to each other ( James 5:16 ).

Small, 12-Step group meetings are safe places to be honest. Check one out for yourself...
