We need to seek God to awaken us to the harmful choices we are unwilling to disclose.

It truly is possible to live a purposeful life of peace and joy in the Holy Spirit when we seek God’s direction in all our affairs.

The longer we live in sobriety the more we recognize that we have lots to learn.

Each day is new – filled with unknowns and challenges but also filled with possibilities and the comfort and encouragement we need from knowing that God is with us and goes before us into this day. God sees things we don’t.  God prepares things that we don’t even know need to be prepared and God promises to take us safely through this day. That’s the confidence we can hold as we face today.

There are many things we wonder about whether they are God’s will or not.  We want certain things.  We’d like suffering and poverty to end, wars to cease, families to reconcile and so on. What is God’s will in the middle of each particular set of circumstances for this time?  When we don’t know for sure, we simply entrust ourselves to God’s care and ask, as we’re instructed in the Lord’s Prayer to pray

One of the most dangerous characteristics of our lives is the mindset where we think we know what we need.  We know what's wrong.  We know what everyone else did wrong and that resulted in our troubles.  We are quick to judge and strongly criticize everyone and everything except ourselves. Real life with God today requires that we take a new approach.
