Partners in Hope

We did not become powerless over our dependencies in a day, and it is certain we will not get freedom from them in a day. We need to learn about God and His power to free us. We also need to learn from people who have knowledge of the path we are on and are willing to share their experience, strength, and hope with us.

When we talk about intimacy, we are usually referring to a close, familiar, protective, loving relationship between two persons. Our Heavenly Father desires to have an intimate relationship with us.

To live without fear we must intentionally choose to believe God and receive the kindness and tenderness He offers us.

Jesus is so kind to reassure us that if we come to Him, he will give us exactly that – peace of mind and heart that goes beyond what circumstances offer to us.

We have a great prayer for today straight from the Bible.  It reminds us that God is on call when we need help. Let’s look at this prayer a couple of sentences at a time.

God offers us comfort for our grief and healing for our hurts, but this freedom requires honesty in what we are willing to reveal and deal with.
