“Nothing, absolutely nothing, happens in God’s world by mistake.” (Page 417, Big Book)
If I’m upset, I’m saying God made a mistake. I think things should be different. I’m right, God’s wrong.
What does God want?
“We are sure God wants us to be happy, joyous, and free.” (Page 133, Big Book)
Therefore, reality as it is, is perfectly sufficient for me to be happy, joyous, and free.
I am mistaken when I think anything needs to change for me to be OK.
The answer is therefore always joyful acceptance of God’s will for the world to be exactly the way it is.
“As we go through the day we pause, when agitated or doubtful, and ask for the right thought or action. We constantly remind ourselves we are no longer running the show, humbly saying to ourselves many times each day ‘Thy will be done.’” (Page 87)
