As a result of the actions of Steps 4-10, we removed the things that were blocking us from God. Now we can carry out the decision we made in Step 3 of turning our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him. Through prayer and meditation, we can receive God’s will for us and the power to carry it out. ~ McQ, Joe. The Steps We Took (p. 122). August House. Kindle Edition.
Joe McQ explains the connection
between the Third and Eleventh steps:
“We could say that the Steps
have two crucial points:
the turning over of our will
in Step 3 and the receiving of God’s will
in Step 11.” Steps Four through Ten
teach us how to go about receiving God’s Will.
It’s an explanation of the interrelations
of the Steps that rings true.
God, teach me the truth of the commitment
to have Sought through prayer
and meditation to improve
our conscious contact with God
as we understood Him,
praying only for knowledge
of His will for us
and the power to carry that out.
