There is a "Higher Power" that is greater and stronger than I am. It may be God or any spiritual figure or belief. I do not necessarily have to go to church or be a religious person to believe in a Higher Power. All I have to know is that this Higher Power is available to help me. This may be hard to believe because of all the hurtful things that have happened to me. I may feel that I've been ignored, betrayed, or punished for something I did wrong. But I realize these are normal feelings for anyone who has been through a trauma. I feel better knowing that my feelings are normal, but I feel even better knowing I am willing to believe in this Higher Power that loves me.  i am having the most difficult time accepting this.  how can there be a higher power when so many things are wrong?  how can there be a higher power that will allow someone to die or for someone to be so unhappy?  i just cant wrap my head around this.
