Finding Hope
A person with hope looks forward with reasonable confidence to something that will take place. In recovery, we are hoping that the bondage to our dependency will be overcome and we will have freedom to nurture a new life focus. Our personal history confirms that within us we do not have the power needed to produce change, so where can we get this power that enables us to have hope?

Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. (Ephesians 3:20 TLB)

Those who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. The Spirit you received doesn’t make you slaves. Otherwise you would live in fear again. Instead, the Holy Spirit you received made you God’s adopted child. By the Spirit’s power we call God Abba. Abba means Father. (Romans 8:14-15 NIRV)

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 NIV)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Your great love and tender mercy is fueling my hope to leave my unmanageable life behind and is encouraging me to practice Your principles in all my affairs. My hope is that Your mighty power at work within me will do far more than I could ever ask for or even dream about. Amen
