After many years in the program, I couldn’t understand why with all my faith I still didn’t have peace. Then I realized I gave my troubles to my Higher Power by sending them up on a kite string and hanging on to the other end. In other words, I didn’t really surrender.

When I trusted other human beings, it gave me strength to trust my Higher Power. This allowed me to surrender and release the kite string that held my problems. I pray that God will help me to extend my gratitude to the human beings who gave me trust. But God cannot help me unless I let go.
