Then pray for the willingness to believe.

The archway of step three is an amazing thing. It takes some practice to turn everything over to the care of our God. That archway isn't going to stay the same, it didn't for me anyway.

At first, it was a concept for me- ok turn my life and my will over to the care of God as I understand him. Okay- but what does that MEAN? I just pray every ten minutes? How is that going to help me?

The concept changed into rock-solid truth when I worked the rest of the steps. Steps Four and Five were HUGE in making Step Three less concept and more firm reality. It just IS for me now. I don't have to think about it anymore. That change didn't happen until I leaned on my God and saw him come through for me again and again. As of right now- at Step Three, we're just making a decision to lean- we haven't really started leaning on God yet.

Steps Nine and Ten really bring that point home too. More will be revealed Keep working and that Step Three will shore itself up in no time.
