Step Two

Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.


Themes

  • The “Hope Step”
  • Openness & willingness to believe in more than ourselves
  • A beginner’s mindset toward the compassion, acceptance, understanding, and love of a Power greater than ourselves

Verses for Meditation

  • “But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9
  • “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” Romans 15:13
  • “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul; He lads me in the paths of the righteous for His name’s sake.” Psalm 23:1-3

The Set Aside Prayer

God, today help me set aside everything I think I know about you,
everything I think I know about myself,
everything I think I know about others,
and everything I think I know about my own life
so I may have an open mind and a new experience with all these things.
Please help me see the truth.
Amen
