Step Two Can Jesus Be Trusted As A Higher Power?

The Bible is a wonderful source of support for us and contains many stories about the compassion Jesus showed to those He encountered.  As we turn to Jesus, we can be sure that He will generously give the same kindness and support to us  

One day a man came to Jesus and asked him to help his young son.  He said to Jesus, “Have mercy on us and help us, if you can.” “What do you mean, ‘If I can’?” Jesus asked. “Anything is possible if a person believes.” The father instantly cried out, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!”  (Mark 9:22b-24 NLT) 

When we face our powerlessness over addiction and the unmanageability of our lives, we can begin the process of recovery by asking Jesus to help us have faith in Him, just like this man did.  Jesus set the son free and restored him to his father.  God awaits an invitation from us to restore the loving relationship He planned for us to have with Him from the beginning of time. 

Recovery and eternal life will be ours when we renounce our rebellion and believe in the one God sent to save us.  The one God sent was His beloved son Jesus.  We can know what God is like by getting to know Jesus and learning from Him and from His teachings.   

As we begin to trust in Jesus and His unfailing love for us, we will come to realize how God truly meant life to be lived.  

Prayer:  Lord Jesus, I come to You and ask for Your help to believe that a power greater that myself will restore me to sanity and give me the new life I desire. Amen
