Partners in Hope

Sometimes we think we have got recovery because we are feeling fine. It's when we think like this that we are most vulnerable to relapse to our substance of choice, or habit, or of sliding into other unhealthy behaviours.

Recovery is a time of learning to find serenity in our healing, and blessing God while also accepting life as it is, not as we would have it.

Only God, with His infinite wisdom, can give us the experience, strength, and hope we need to be successful.

Who of us hasn't felt pressured recently – maybe even today?  There are so many demands on our time and attention, so many uncertainties in our world, and so much we don't know about to make us safe and successful. While it's important to not passively let life just happen, it's also important to find a secure place each day where we can deal with whatever we need to face today and then wisely let the rest go.

All around the globe there is unrest, conflicts, demonstrations.  And there are often abuses of authority and on the other side challenges to authority by anyone who doesn’t like the decisions made. It’s easy to feel vulnerable and uncertain with news coming at us day after day. Thankfully we have a solid and secure place to stand.  We can be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.
