Partners in Hope

It’s unrealistic to think we won’t feel vulnerable as we seek to maintain our sobriety and repair our relationships.

God has solutions for all the problems we face whether it’s problems brought on by our own actions or the actions of others.

We need God’s help to identify our shortcomings and the infilling of the Holy Spirit to give us the will and the power to remove them.

At the end of many recovery meetings we say the words, “Keep coming back. It works if you work it.”  While it is important to do our part, we can be thankful that our life, and indeed for those in recovery, our recovery only has hope because God works on our behalf.

What is true that underlines all we are as we face this day?  We all wake up to some kind of mindset and almost without thinking, we think about various things and filter news and events around us through our mindset. What's my foundational mindset?

Sometimes we are bored and restless because the things we are interested in or engaged in were never meant to be satisfying and attention holding. They are a bit empty.  Our boredom is calling us to put our attention to things that are better.
