Determination
The wisdom to know the difference. Although we pray for courage to change things that are amenable to change, we are sometimes unable to see that some things are changeable. Our impression may be the challenge is too formidable, or we underestimate our abilities. If we avoid a challenge we are capable of overcoming, we are doing the same thing we did in active addiction. The difference now is we employ avoidance without using a chemical. While we can pray to God to grant us courage, making the effort is our part of the job, not His.
