Recovery Meditations

O God have mercy on me, for people are hounding me.

Tony Bennet sang a song, “If I Ruled the World”.

At some point in our lives we came to an understanding that we could not continue as we were.

At many points in our recovery journey the character defect of evasiveness may begin to surface.

As God draws us into a deeper relationship with Himself, the devil and his forces of darkness try to make us doubt Him.

Whether it is a group of bullies on a school playground or an abusive partner behind closed doors, it's never right for one person to push their agenda or desires on another.

Everyone faces unwanted hardships and trouble. Some hardship comes because we act in ways that are unwise and end up in circumstances we did not anticipate.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

When we are being taught something new, we often feel overwhelmed by the process we must follow.

Why do we continue to do things our own way when it obviously isn’t working?

Some of us in recovery lack the quality of being hospitable.

Over the long haul, how do we prevent relapse into addictive behaviour and maintain our choice to live in the love and grace of God?
