Made a decision to turn our will and our lives overMost of us know intellectually that God can care for us a lot better than we can care for ourselves. But we may be afraid to trust God to care for us. We may have trusted other people who turned out to be untrustworthy. As a result, we might not expect any caregiver–even God–to be kind or helpful. Even though we may know that God is grace-full and loving, we may experience fear when we start to make the decision suggested by Step Three.
to the care of God as we understood Him.
Making a decision is all that is required of us in Step Three. It is similar to planning a vacation. First we decide to go on a vacation, then we start making plans for the vacation, and then we actually take the vacation. The decision is a very important part of the process–but it is not the whole process. In Step Three we are only making a decision. We don’t need to trust God completely and totally for the rest of our lives in order to do Step Three. We start by making a decision to turn our wills and lives over to God’s care today. It is a decision we will need to make one day at a time for the rest of our lives. Each day that we choose to entrust our lives to God’s care, our trust in God’s wisdom and love will grow.
