Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)<\/a> is a successful 12-step program to help people overcome disease. Step one of Alcoholics Anonymous is admitting you have no control over alcohol. Step Two<\/a> is Find a Power Greater Than Yourself. Why, after realizing you need help, is belief second?<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis step gives you hope. You are not alone, and something higher than you can help you conquer your addiction and despair.\u201d (<\/em>Recovery.Org<\/em><\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n When we\u2019re in trouble, we need help. Jesus offers us the assistance that will lead to victory. Believing in Jesus\u2019s existence means you\u2019re not alone. A Power greater than you exists. In Him, you can find peace, no matter what the storm. But first, you have to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will have trouble.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of my favorite characteristics of Jesus is His honesty. In His earthly ministry, Jesus told the truth. He didn\u2019t pull punches. John records Jesus\u2019s words:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.\u201d (<\/em>John 16:33 NIV<\/em><\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Trouble isn\u2019t something you can avoid; it\u2019s a part of life. Whatever crisis you\u2019re facing, Jesus does have an answer. In Him, you can find peace. To receive Jesus\u2019s calm, you must seek Him. He\u2019s waiting, arms wide open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jesus is a gentleman; He doesn\u2019t force His presence on you if you don\u2019t want it.\u00a0 To have, you must seek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n .<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n Lord, how thankful we are You exist. You are our Higher Power. Forgive us for not plugging into You more. Help us believe today, Lord. As prayers are lifted to You, answer them in a way, we\u2019ll know You are real. We ask for Your Presence in our lives, today and always. With You, we can find the peace we crave; without You, we have none. As we find Your peace in our own lives, help us spread it to those around us. Together, we can overcome any obstacle. In You, we find our strength. IJNIP.
