The God Idea

When we saw others solve the problems by simple reliance upon a Spirit of the Universe, we had to stop doubting the power of God. Our ideas did not work. But the God idea did.

Like a blind man gradually being restored to sight, I slowly groped my way to the Third Step. Having realized that only a Power greater than myself could rescue me from the hopeless abyss I was in, I knew that this was a Power that I had to grasp, and that it would be my anchor in the midst of the sea of woes. Even though my faith at the time was miniscule, it was big enough to make me see that it was time for me to discard my reliance on my prideful ego and replace it with a steady strength that could only come from a Power far greater than myself.
