Work it Wednesday - Step 3

Step Booklets are available through
our website www.streetchicks.net

Just to review - We have already discussed Steps 1 & 2

Step 1 - We admitted we are powerless over our addiction and that our lives had become unmanageable.

Step 2 - Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Now for Step 3 - Make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood him.

Before we make the decision to turn our will and lives over to God, we need to be convinced of three things:

1. That we were addicted to _________ and could not manage our own lives.
2. That probably no human power could have relieved us of our addiction.
3. That God could and would if He were sought.

All this step is about is making the decision. That's all!  Putting off the decision is a decision. Not deciding is a decision. It is simply a decision, not an action. For example, you decide to go to the grocery. The action you take is to drive or walk there.  

There is no room for God if we are full of ourselves! Our problem comes from our addiction and is an extreme example of self will run rampant. Remember who we are playing with - your addiction is cunning, baffling and powerful.  If you are still trying to run your own life? Are you trying to run other people's lives? How's that working out for you? Should you be fired? 

Are you ready to have God take it from here? You simply need to be willing to open the door a crack and let God do the rest. Decide that from now on, God is the director, not you!! So what are you waiting for? Let go and Let God!  Not just of some of the things - ALL of the things!  This is only the beginning!

Are YOU ready?
