What I can’t do, my Higher Power can. When I let go and let God, I am free to take risks and to make mistakes. I know that I am powerless over many things. Today I can take comfort in knowing that I don’t have the power to ruin God’s plans. ~ Family Groups, Al-Anon. Courage to Change—One Day at a Time in Al‑Anon II (Kindle Locations 3767-3770).It feels like a put-down,
an admission of impotence,
saying I admit I'm powerless over food —
that my life has become unmanageable.
Yet look at it. I AM powerless,
I give up managing the whole show,
I've offered myself to God to build with me,
to do with me as he chooses.
I pray that God's will be done, not mine...
and I can take comfort
in knowing that I don’t have the power
to ruin God’s plans!
