Recovery Meditations

What a refreshing feeling it is to be free from the guilt of our addiction and dependencies.

A lot of destructive and addictive behaviours are based in the poverty mentality that results from our belief that our needs are not being met.

Often people who have no relationship with God will pray when they are in trouble or when they urgently need help in a time of great distress.

In the middle of the Bible, just after Psalms, we find the book of Proverbs which contains all sorts of practical wisdom about everyday living.

In the Bible Jesus told a story about a father and two sons.

While we were living in addiction our daily agenda was completely centered on meeting our own needs.

How many times in a day do we struggle with the character defect of impatience?

When problems arise it is easy to forget that God cares.

To experience success in our life with God in recovery we must make a commitment to be thorough in our search for truth and how we apply this learned truth in our thoughts and behaviours.

In the Bible we read of all the good things that God does for those who have given their will and life into his care.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

We all need hope. Today we are affirming the hope within us that what has been impossible for us to do on our own becomes possible when we reach out for help to a power greater than ourselves.
