We see the evidence of a Power Greater than ourselves working in our Lives; and in the Lives of others. This evidence resulted in Faith, not blind Faith either. We develop Trust in this Step.

We begin to rely on this Power in our decision-making process. Asking for Help from our Higher Power becomes our Greatest Source of Strength. We made a Decision in the Third Step to turn our Wills (which is our thinking), and our Lives (which is our actions) over to this Power we tapped into in the Second Step. The Third Step is the Bridge to Sanity. We gain Faith as we cross over to the winning side.

This Higher Power, which some of us call God, is what makes our Recovery possible. A deeper level of Surrender is what's needed.

Whenever we need to, we can ask this Power to Guide our thoughts and actions during the day. This short Prayer, at the beginning header, is so simple that we can use it whenever we need to. The Spiritual Principles of Narcotics Anonymous does not shield us from pain. There will be the pain that leads to Spiritual Growth.

This type of pain is less self-inflicted. Narcotics Anonymous has been referred to as a Program for Learning.

Most of the time it's a Program of unlearning. Talking to our Higher Power confirms that we Truly believe that we can't do this on our own. Day by day our Faith increases as we experience this Power at work.

Our Surrender has to be followed by actions to be effective.

In This Moment: We will say these simple words whenever we feel stuck. We will ask for Guidance as we work on the Solution.
