Recovery Meditations

As we spend time with God each day and practice His teachings, He gives us a discerning heart to know His ways.

God knows our past, our present, and our future, and will work everything together for our good because of His great love for us.

God alone knows what is best for each person. Only God has the foreknowledge necessary to guide us over the long haul.

Our God is a God of order and when we live in the structure and order He has planned, things go well for us.

Reprogramming our minds may be challenging at first because some of our thinking is hidden in the comfort of the half-truths that we believe.

No one is worse off or better off than us. Their journey of recovery is just different.

If we want to stay on track in our recovery, we need to have a mindset that reflects our intention to get well and stay well.

To be effective in our new life in recovery, we need to choose to follow God’s ways. We need to find new sources of interest and a new set of skills to help us stay clean and sober.

One of our first priorities in recovery is sorting our life practices according to the truth.

Living according to the wisdom of God has more benefits than we would ever have space to list.

We feel many things in recovery. Some negative and others positive. There are feelings of fear and uncertainty about our future, and guilt and shame over things done wrong in the past. If we pay attention, we will also notice feelings of joy and relief that we have finally escaped from the bondage of our addiction and recognized that we truly do need help.

When Jesus says our wrongs are forgiven, they are truly forgiven.
