Step Eleven ~ Part 3: Questions

"Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us, and the power to carry that out."

1. Where, when and how do you 'hear' the voice of your Higher Power?

2. Step 11 states we pray for knowledge of His will for us. What problems have trying to interpret God's will for others caused for them and/or you in the past? How do you avoid this today?

3. What, if any, is the correlation between God's will for you and your recovery?

4. Does 'praying only for knowledge of His will' mean we cannot pray for other things (jobs, children, health, or abstinence)? Why or why not?
