Many Reasons For Giving Thanks

Sunday June 28, 2020

There are many reasons to be thankful to the Lord for all He has done for us.  He took us from the pit of our addiction and brought people into our lives who helped us understand His unfailing love for us.  When we thought there was no way forward in life, He made a way.  God also made us many promises and one by one we see them coming true, for He is faithful to His word.  God has done many things for us and we can say with confidence, He truly is a miracle worker.

Praise the Lord and pray in his name! Tell everyone what he has done.  Sing praises to the Lord! Tell about his miracles. Celebrate and worship his holy name with all your heart.  Trust the Lord and his mighty power. Remember his miracles and all his wonders and his fair decisions. (Psalm 105:1-5 CEV)

As we read and obey God’s counsel about living in the power of His Holy Spirit, there is nothing too difficult for us to achieve.  When we first came into recovery we wondered if we would be able to stay the course.  We knew the nagging effects of our dependency on us and were unsure how strong our desire was to stay clean.   Living one day at a time and seeking God’s help to ignore negative and obsessive thoughts was a start. Then we discovered that we could take these thoughts to God and allow His Power which is greater than ourselves to fight the battle in our minds. All we needed to do was what the Psalm says, “Trust the Lord and his mighty power.”
When life presents us with problems and we struggle to cope, we need to remember that God is near and ask for His help.  In good times and in troublesome times, God makes fair decisions and works everything together for our good.

We thank you, God, we thank you—your Name is our favorite word; your mighty works are all we talk about. (Psalm 75:1 MSG)



Prayer:  Gracious God, I praise Your name that I am never alone.  In good times and trying times I pour out my heart before You because You are my strong tower in whom I trust. Amen
