Recovery Meditations

A humble life is grounded in a realistic view of ourselves.

D Requesting that God remove all our defects of character is asking Him to rid us of everything within us that hinders our ability to live life to the full.

To be flexible means that we are adaptable and willing to yield when circumstances require short or long-term change.

When we are in a place of despair we often cry out to God for help but wonder if He is really listening.

On pages 83-84 of the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous we read twelve promises that will happen as we diligently work the twelve steps.

Ten times in just a few verses from the Bible we are told by a wise king that we should remember our creator.

There is a desire in each one of us to succeed, to win, to excel, yet often when we have been asked to do something, we allow thoughts of failure to overcome us before we even start.

As we remember service men and women who served our nation in times of war and other national troubles, it's good to be mindful of words from the Bible that prompt us to remember God's help in our time of need.

As we begin to follow God’s principles in all our affairs, we may have questions about the future and how God is going to work everything together for our good and His glory.
