My 12 step sponsor keeps on telling me that I should define my own higher power, but how can I define what is most likely there but not really giving me much reason to have faith?
Yeah, I believe there is a God. And I also believe he is not in line with any Abrahamic religion. He weeps as he sees us hurt each other in his name. But he dropped me into this world for some reason I am not grasping. I feel as if I have lived 40 wasted years. I feel as if there has to be more to life than how most people have been living it.
My state of constant discontent is interfering with my ability to have faith. There, I said it.
Beer and weed are not the answer. Either is escaping into movies or video games. Neither is relying on other humans. Any exterior factor I can see and feel is not the answer. I need to figure out how to get my faith working. I do not feel as if I am good enough for a higher power’s standards as I stand now.
