Faith, the capacity to believe, is an gift of grace imparted to you at birth. In other words, you are a believer at birth in your higher power. How do I know this? I was reminded of this as I awakened today. I went to sleep last night, as I have done before, knowing…believing…trusting…that I would awaken the next morning. I did. You did, too.
I am often asked, “How can I trust higher power will take care of me?” Stop trying. Whenever I “try” to go to sleep at night, I lie awake. When I let go of everything, however, I fall into sleep as effortlessly as a skydiver falls through the atmosphere.
The more you can let go of trying to control your life…your circumstances…your anxiety over how your going to make it…the more you practice just turning loose, closing your eyes, and then taking the leap, the more quickly you will discover, what I call, the parachute of your higher power. Just when you feel you’re falling, you discover you’re flying This is what it means to be a person of faith…The program works beyond all beliefs.The problem is being a spiritual skydiver is often required during the waking hours. This idea to take risks in recovery is often a finally balanced gamble between will and faith.
