Trust

God is everything or He is nothing!  What is my choice today?  If I find myself in fear and trying to control a situation, you can bet I am not trusting God...  If I am in fear over a loved one, my checkbook, my job, anything at all it is because I have predetermined what the outcome needs to be.

In other words I am playing God... Not trusting God, playing God... This is simply a resurgence of the ego... And for me this is deadly... I can run from task to task and deny it.  I can stay constantly on the move "helping others" and ignore it.  But at some point I have to face it...

Step 1  Do I really believe my life is unmanageable by me?

Step 2  Do I believe there is a Power greater than me that will solve my problem?

Step 3  Am I suffering from the delusion that all would be well if only I manage better?  Am I trying to control the situation to insure the outcome I want, or am I trusting God that the outcome will be what I need.

I must take these actions, I must look at my part.  If I don't pretty soon I will have taken back over completely and I will be trying to stay sober on my own power... My experience has shown me, that does not work...

How about yours?

If my fear and expectations are rising my ego is just ahead of both of them... That is a bad place to be...
