The Power of Powerlessness
Blog
There was a time in my life when the word “powerlessness” was my lifeline, a lifeline that I resisted until I hollered “uncle.” I was a broken and wounded soul addicted to drugs, seeking to effort my way into wholeness over and over again, just to fail over and over again. I believed in a God outside of myself, a God that wasn’t available or friendly, and deemed me unworthy to be bothered. I was hypnotized by the belief that one day this God would have some mercy, and kick me down a reprieve from the incomprehensible demoralization of addiction – addiction to drugs, food, love - and to the illusions that were running my life.
It wasn’t until I admitted complete defeat, and realized “of myself, I can do nothing,” was I able to tap into the power that had been available to me all along.
Powerlessness is powerful. It is an important and necessary starting point on our spiritual journey. It was never meant for us to pull over and park there, however. It was designed to create such a state of surrender, that we would stop trying to save and change our lives from our limited sense of power. It opens a way for us to connect to the real power - the one power - God.
