It was by faith that the people of Israel went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians tried to follow, they were all drowned. It was by faith that the people of Israel marched around Jericho for seven days, and the walls came crashing down. It was by faith that Rahab the prostitute was not destroyed with the people in her city who refused to obey God. For she had given a friendly welcome to the spies. ~ Hebrews 11:29-31 (NLT)
Above everything, we alcoholics must be rid of this selfishness. We must, or it kills us! God makes that possible. And there often seems no way of entirely getting rid of self without His aid. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, Page 62
I can do it myself!
So natural, young children
proclaim it.
So inherent in our approach
to living, the need to
show you, to show myself,
to show off.
How can I dare
trust, release,
how can I let it go?
How can I not be in charge
of this decision,
of this relationship,
of my life?
How?
By faith.

God, give me faith
and the humility
to rely on faith.
