Episode Synopsis
Send us a textAs a reminder, these are the five procedures:The Five Procedures 1. Give in toGod. 2. Listen to God’s direction. 3. Check guidance. 4. Restitution. 5. Sharing — for witness and confession.This is episode three, and I will be speaking about procedure number two, Listen to God’s direction.I see this procedure as being aligned with steps number three and eleven. As we take step three on as our own, and say that holy “yes”, I surrender to God, I am implying that by turning over my will and my life, I will be following the directions of God and my Spirit.Step number 11 takes us even further as I seek to improve my conscious contact with God, praying only for knowledge of His will for me.So, in these two steps, I am telling God that I realize I cannot run my own life, that I know He can I will just get out of the way. Not only will I allow God to direct my life, but in step 11 I this by praying only for knowledge of His will for me!In our 12 step program, this whole procedure is sort into a single, simple phrase, “I can’t handle it. God can. I believe I’ll let Him.”
