Promise #11: I will intuitively know how to handle situations which used to baffle me 

when I see this promise the first word that comes to my mind is fear. I personally believe that I knew how to handle many situations that seem to baffle me, but my self-esteem or self-worth was absolutely nowhere to be found. Without feeling confident, competent, or strong, i.e. powerful, I wasn’t even to think about handling a situation. However, as I mentioned in the last podcast, I have a new way of life, given to me by this 12 step program and managed by my Spirit.

I have a newfound confidence, mostly because God is my support. Furthermore, because I am, to the best of my ability, turning my will and my life over to the care of God via my Spirit, I am able to allow my ego to do its job in keeping me on and even human keel.

In order to be able to handle the so-called situations that used to baffle me in the past, I do not get any more physical strength, bravery, or intelligence that I didn’t have in the past. I simply know that I have the power that has been always available to me whenever I chose to surrender. It is by this surrender that the world of humanity becomes mine to deal with in a kind and loving way, and at the same time, without any fear at all.
