Dale Garrett HEALING FAITH: Faith is a key to successfully working the second step. For some of us faith comes easily. For others..especially if we have experienced betrayal..it may be more difficult.Sometimes we must exhaust all of our own resources in trying to overcome our addictive disease before we will risk believing in a Higher power.When Jesus lived on earth..He was so renowned for His healing power that crowds of sick people constantly pressed in on Him.One day there was a woman in the crowd who had suffered for 12 years with constant bleeding..and she could find no cure. Coming up behind Jesus..she touched the fringe of His robe. Immediately..the bleeding stopped. Jesus realized that someone had deliberately touched Him When the woman confessed that she was the one who had been healed..Jesus said..your faith has made you well. Go in peace. (Luke 8:43-44..48) In order to recover we must follow the example of this woman.We cannot afford to stand back..hoping for cures and avoid deliberate action because of our lack of faith.We may have lived with our condition for many years..spending our resources on promising cures without success.When we can come to believe in God..a power greater than ourselves..and have the faith to take hold of our own recovery..we will find the healing power we have been looking for.
