Let Go and Let God! What a lifesaver for me. It took me to really getting to my Step 3 to be able to do this....turn my life and my will over to God.

Before that, I would try to "control" even God. My prayers were a "wish list" telling God what I wanted instead of asking Him what he wanted from me. I would pray on Saturday and give God until about Tuesday to do it and then I would take it back again and try it my way. Never worked, not once.

In time I realized that God couldn't take my burdens until I truly let go of them. Learning to trust God, to have faith that His Plan is greater than any I could imagine, and willingly and gratefully giving my life and my burdens to Him is one of the greatest gifts recovery has given me.
