Recovery Meditations

I call to you Lord, come quickly to me; hear me when I call to you. May my prayer be set before you like incense. (Psalm 141:1-2a)

No matter how fearful we may feel at this time or in this place where we find ourselves right now, if we invite God to be with us, God will answer, and changes will occur both in us and around us.

In difficult times, rather that running from God, we need to draw closer to Him and let His unfailing love ease the pain we are feeling. 

We were born again from above into the family of God and given the will and desire to live a life of moral excellence

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. (1 John 1:8)

Knowing God is with us and promises us victory will steady us and give us the courage to do the next right thing, even in our weakest moments.

Strength comes as we learn to give thanks to our gracious God who is good, and whose love is available to us 24/7.

Be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ. (Ephesians 4:32)

As we experience the unfailing love and care that God has for us, we can put our trust in His goodness and not fear anything.

What are we going to do with the gift of today that God has given us?

As we spend time with Jesus, the Prince of Peace, we acquire qualities that make us more like Him.

We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
