Step Two ~ Part 4: Questions

"Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves
could restore us to sanity."

"Defining Our Higher Power"

1) Looking at your past experiences with religion and God, what are the
"demons of the past" that you have had to overcome, or are still working to
overcome, in order to define your Higher Power?

2) What experiences have you had or actions have you taken that have helped you to come to believe that there is a Higher Power working in your life. If you have not yet come to this belief, what actions might you take in
order to believe?

3) Discuss how it is that Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness have
helped you (or can help you) to find a faith that works under all conditions.
