CR Step Study Lesson 3 – Hope

Lesson 3 – Principle & Step:

Principle 2:  Earnestly believe that God exists, that I matter to Him, and that He has the power to help me recover.  Happy are the those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.  Matthew 5:4

Step 2:  We came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.  For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.  Philippians 2:13

Lesson 3 – Highlights:

• Higher Power: God can do for us what we have never been able to do for ourselves.
• Openness to change: With God’s help we need to allow our trials to make us better, not bitter.
• Power to change: God’s power is great enough to change us and our situation.
• Expect to change: Expect God to bring healing, it is one of his promises.
