Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God
as we understood Him.
Practicing Step Three is like the opening of a door which to all appearances is still closed and locked. All we need is a key, and the decision to swing the door open. There is only one key, and it is called willingness. Once unlocked by willingness, the door opens almost of itself, and looking through it, we shall see a pathway beside which is an inscription. It reads: “This is the way to a faith that works.”

Willingness opens the door to spiritual enlightenment and spiritual healing. It requires the experience of two prior spiritual principles:
1. “We admitted we were powerless – that our lives had become unmanageable.” We, first, have to admit and experience that we cannot change or control the ultimate outcomes of our lives – nor can we become willing by simply willing it so. As long as this illusion persists, willingness and spiritual enlightenment is virtually impossible.
2. “We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.” In the presence of others who are struggling with the same problems, we begin to experience a Presence greater than all ourselves. This intimate Presence begins to access our unconscious minds and reprogram our perceptions and reactions – spiritual healing. We begin to experience a sanity that allows us to care for ourselves and others – and enables us to be willing to be recreated into our truest selves.
Willingness ultimately requires and causes a life changing spiritual enlightenment that occurs when a higher loving Presence enters our lives and gives us choices and not just options.
