Recovery Meditations

G The following Psalm is one that in many ways expresses the emotions we were dealing with when we called out to God in our powerlessness over our dependency and the unmanageable lifestyle we were living.

E Many of us choose to rely on our own understanding of how life works and what is best for us.

What came first the chicken or the egg? When we called out to God in our powerlessness, did we suddenly show up on His “locating system” or was He already waiting for us to call and available to help us?

S The twelfth promise of AA reads: “We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what we could not do for ourselves.

E From time to time some of us get into a rut and struggle to see the purpose that God has for our lives.

A mature person is productive and effective and, with the knowledge they have gained, they keep on improving their standing in the community while growing closer to God.

D Addiction is a disease of isolation. That’s not news to those of us who have spent time there.

The Psalms that we read and think about each Sunday are the ancient songbook of the church.

G Why do people argue? Apparently for lots of reasons.

N If someone were to choose 3 words to describe us, would generous be one of them?

Who would have thought that the way we are living in our relationships, taking responsibility for our actions, and doing the work that is required of us each day, would attract others to think about getting what we have?

When Jesus was teaching His friends about prayer He said this: Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for.
