Higher Power
When considering Higher Power, some people get
very tied up with what this means. Are they dealing
with a religious God and if so, which religion? What
does this Higher Power look like? They ask. The
point lies in the word ‘Power’. There is a power that
helps us, a power in the meeting rooms that you can
sometimes feel. Trying to put a label on this power
is missing the point. It is enough for us that the
power is there, and it works through other people.
Empirical knowledge of a Higher Power is not
possible, so let us just accept that it exists, if only
because something must make the planets go round
the sun. Why do we need a label? How important is
it? Am I content to accept my Higher Power as an
unknown but powerful source of help?
People of every outlook, background and belief find
support and success in the Twelve Step fellowships.
Atheists do as well as religious believers. I must
look at the similarities and keep it simple. The urge
to complicate things has been my downfall in the
past. A Power greater than myself is all I require.
Today I ask God for wisdom to keep things simple.
