Partners in Hope

The founders of AA were very clear that we needed to know both God’s will for us and have the power to carry it out.

How can we maintain peace? God knows these situations will arise and so we are given some helpful advice in the Bible about living at peace with everyone.

Like the writer of the Psalm, we need to put our trust in the weapons that God has given us.

How many of us who begin a job actually see it through to completion? In some areas we do not badly and then there are other areas where we struggle to push through all the way to the end. Only God can get us over the finish line when it really counts.

In every age there have been challenges to our sense of community. These days the great challenge seems to be devices and the isolation that was so increased during long months of pandemic restrictions and seems to have lingered these years later. We need each other.  We were made for each other.  It’s only with others that our daily living and service truly finds completeness. 

We have admitted that sometimes we got into trouble because we had been foolish. The next positive move we can take is to make a decision to turn our will and life over to the care of God.  When we call out to God, even if we are feeling confused by all that is happening, He hears us and helps us get the urgent help we need.
