From "Meditations for Women Who Do Too Much" by Anne Wilson Schaef

If God is a fly on the wall, Nanny, hand me a fly swatter.

- Gaby Brimmer

Even Jesus felt forsaken by God. We can identify with him. We have been angry with God, and we have abandoned our Higher Power because we felt abandoned. This God on whom we want to depend simply refuses to live our lives for us. We want to turn it all over to our Higher Power and lie back and relax, and old H.P. is not cooperating.

Where's the fly swatter? If my Higher Power won't do it my way, to hell with it.

Right! Enjoying ourselves, are we? Isn't this fun? A fight with God - that should keep us occupied for quite some time.

When I feel abandoned by my Higher Power, I am the one who has gone away.
