"Imagine life without faith! Were nothing left but pure reason, it wouldn't be life."

We Agnostics

We have never personally proven many of the physical laws that we take for granted each and every day. And yet, we hold them up as justification for our actions. As small children, before we even knew that there were the laws of science to support the way the world worked, we simply had faith that it would work the next time the same way it did the last or the same way that we observed that it worked for others.

As adults, we tend to overthink things. When it comes to faith in a Higher Power, we may balk and try to hide behind the lack of a scientific law or other proof. In recovery, we sometimes need to take a step back to take two forward. We need to step back into our childlike acceptance of the way the world works -- the world governed by the will of a Higher Power.
