Power Greater Than Ourselves

 We all need hope.  Today we are affirming the hope we will experience when what has been impossible for us to do on our own becomes possible as we reach out for help to a Power greater than ourselves. 

 The Bible tells us that the key to life is in the “higher power” we look to.  The God of the Bible is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-loving.  He is the one who created the world.  He is the God who planned for us to have a loving and caring relationship with Him, and with others.  Through Jesus, God made provision for the forgiveness of the sins of all humans. Step 2 of the 12-Step program of AA invites us to get to know this powerful God who is rich in love and mercy towards each one of us.

We will be more eager to come to God, our Higher Power, if we see Him as the one who proclaims, “he rewards those who sincerely seek him”.  Our faith may not have matured to this point, but we can start by asking God to help us have more faith.  

 “Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.”  (Hebrews 11:1 NLT) 

Prayer:  Dear God, I am not sure about who You are right now, but I am coming to believe that there is a Power greater than myself who can restore me to sanity.  I believe that You brought me to this point in my life and therefore I have hope that You will make me new as I trust You and follow Your ways in all my affairs. Please help me!  Amen
