TRUST IN THE INFINITE -
"We trust in-
finite God [or our
H.P.] rather than our
finite selves. We are in the
world to play the role
[S]He assigns."
(The Big Book,
p. 68)
WALKING SAFELY THOUGH THERE'S DARKNESS -
"As we see coin-
cidences and mir-
acles happening in our
lives, acceptance becomes
trust. We grow to feel com-
fortable with our Higher Pow-
er as a source of strength.
As we learn to trust this
Power, we begin to
overcome our fear
of life." (The Ba-
sic Text, p.
25)
"He who has
faith has ... an
inward reservoir
of courage, hope,
confidence, calmness,
and assuring trust that
all will come out well -
even though to the
world it may ap-
pear to come
out most
badly."
- B. C. Forbes (1880 - 1954) Scottish journalist
*HP - Higher Power - is any power greater than oneself, like Nature, the Cosmos, or even the legal system.
