Self-reliance Failed Us

Time and time again I see that without God I am nothing. I must relinquish self-will to Him daily . I desperately ask him to free me from the bondage of my opinions and biases that are of no use in his kingdom. Many times I feel that I fall short. Self-examination reveals inadequacies. I must humby ask him to remove from me the things that stand in the way my usefulness to Him and my fellows. I must realize that I don't have the final say in what goes and stays. God does. There are times that God's plan does not look like I would have it. But the verdict of the ages is that we must trust God. We, as alcoholics/addicts must learn to trust God where self-reliance has failed us.
