“He who has faith has … an inward reservoir of courage, hope, confidence, calmness, and assuring trust that all will come out well – even though to the world it may appear to come out most badly.”  – B. C. Forbes (1880 – 1954) Scottish journalist

Analysis: The Reservoir of Courage

The Big Book invites radical surrender. We trust an infinite Higher Power instead of finite selves. B. C. Forbes highlighted a profound spiritual truth. Faith builds an inner reservoir of courage. This hidden strength conquers every lurking fear.

The Basic Text illuminates this transformative journey. Miracles replace lingering doubts with steady trust. Meanwhile, gentle guidance anchors our weary souls. Wellbriety wisdom expands this sacred pathway. “True healing blooms when we surrender our fears” (White Bison, 2002, p. 145). Grace transforms darkness into brilliant light. We walk forward with unshakable hope.

DONDE LA CONFIANZA Y LA FE SE ENCUENTRAN PARA RESTAURAR NUESTRO ILIMITADO “RESERVORIO DE VALOR” Y “ESPERANZA” – PASO 7

CONFIANZA EN LO INFINITO –

“Confiamos en el Dios infinito [o en nuestro P.S.] en lugar de en nuestros seres finitos. Estamos en el mundo para desempeñar el papel que Él [o Ella] nos asigna.” (El Libro Grande, p. 68)

CAMINANDO CON SEGURIDAD A PESAR DE LA OSCURIDAD –

“A medida que vemos coincidencias y milagros que ocurren en nuestras vidas, la aceptación se convierte en confianza. Llegamos a sentirnos cómodos con nuestro Poder Superior como fuente de fortaleza. A medida que aprendemos a confiar en este Poder, comenzamos a superar nuestro miedo a la vida.” (El Texto Básico, p. 25)

B. C. FORBES –

“Quien tiene fe tiene… un reservorio interior de valor, esperanza, confianza, serenidad y la seguridad de que todo saldrá bien, aunque ante el mundo parezca salir de la peor manera.”

— B. C. Forbes (1880 – 1954), periodista escocés

Análisis

El Libro Grande invita a una rendición radical. Confiamos en un Poder Superior infinito en lugar de en nuestros seres finitos. B. C. Forbes destacó una profunda verdad espiritual. La fe construye un reservorio interior de valor. Esta fuerza oculta conquista cada miedo latente.

El Texto Básico ilumina este viaje transformador. Los milagros reemplazan las dudas persistentes con una confianza firme. Mientras tanto, la guía amable ancla nuestras almas cansadas. La sabiduría de Wellbriety expande este camino sagrado. “La verdadera curación florece cuando entregamos nuestros miedos” (White Bison, 2002, p. 145). La gracia transforma la oscuridad en una luz brillante. Caminamos hacia adelante con esperanza inquebrantable.

    I’ve done somethin’ I dreaded through wanting to achieve by viewing how sick some have gotten, not just now but in the past. My I am attitude is that I can get past those people though, and accomplish what I want to accomplish. I set out to get my real estate certificate, and did receive it with all As. I worked hard, and after all was done I was accomplished. Somethings do surprise me in life, but I do courageously view them.

    Every day I face something that could go either way, it is through my faith in a power greater than myself for guidance that I get past dread and fear.

    How does trusting something greater than yourself help you face scary parts of life? ~

    My true compass. My true north, my faith in Creator guides every aspect of my life, I answer Creators call, and move intuitively and with action to these revelations and knowing of direction, through my faith and prayer . My faith and prayer eases my anxieties, fears, and gives me courage . Moving countries, driving here solo, leaving my partner there, and my family, friends and home to pursue my musical callings and purpose, dreams took a lot of faith and it was scary, but here I am now, safe, my needs met, and blessed . Creator knows ~ faith and hope in Great Spirit is my only way to live ~

    I finally called my grandma. I was afraid for her health. The faith wasn’t that she’d be okay. Just acknowledging that knowing is better than dread.

    Having some kind of faith of deeper layers and meaning to reality gives even the most commonplace moments a sense of deep magic. And, even scary moments feel woven into a grander tapestry that I cannot see the ends of, and can be made to serve a higher purpose. It’s hard to see it in the moment, but reflection and meditation help to perceive the experiences differently

    It’s such a struggle for me to find faith in a higher power and even more difficult to pray and talk to that higher power. What I’ve realized is that my life is measurably better when I act like I believe than when I don’t, and that’s good enough for me. Even when I don’t feel like I believe, I still act like I do and it helps me.

    When I look at nature, verses when I see the creations of man there is a marked difference in the expression. For me, this is a clear indication that the creations of man are often not in alignment with the force that created the all. This gives me faith and trust far beyond that which my senses perceive. There is more and long to grasp an understanding of what that is.

    Thank you for sharing recovery with me. Grateful

    Trusting in God helps me through the good and the bad times. I give it all to him on a daily basis as long as he’s driving I’m a happy passenger. Somebody once asked me how do you give it to god. I said here’s an example of how I give it to god. Let’s say somebody wants me to do a job for them, I pray to my God and say, Lord if you want me to do this job open the door wide, if you do not want me to do this job slam the door shut. So whatever the outcome I have truly given it to him even if I wanted the job and the doorr shuts I know that is his will for me…

    Hopes have inspired me (moi) to leave some relaxations at times to be more active, although I do like bein’ active just not leavin’ some relaxation. There’s even been some strange signallin’ goin’ through our air right now that has even caused me some discomforts. Sometimes I don’t think people understand when I have to be more assertive too, and is somethin’ i dread, but bein’ upset even more. There’s always hope that we don’t have to do the things that we dread though at all if it’s not somethin’ in our preference. Oh but there is also goin’ to a male/women restroom only that has been quite difficult, because bein’ mult-gendered is somethin’ I should never have to do, unless I’m amongst a lot of racist/gender-biasin’ people.
    There’s always hope for a new day despite, of visibility.

    Yesterday a 20 something with 3 years said nowadays he likes to tell himself that ‘the thing for me is on its way.’ I like that in terms of faith. It’s reassuring.
