Recovery Meditations

O Lord, I have come to you for protection; don’t let me be disgraced.

Jesus said that we are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and love our neighbour as ourselves.

How are we expected to know what is right? How do we know what is wrong?

If we want to experience healthy and joyful relationships with God and with others each day of our lives, we will have to be willing to change our former ways.

Peace and contentment are treasures to be chosen and gifts to be received.

God blesses those who work for peace. In recovery we have the responsibility to live in ways that honour and support truth that leads to peace.

It’s important to plan carefully and be wise as we seek to make amends for our part in relationship breakdowns.

Addiction for many of us focused on trying to find happiness.

There is good news for those who have struggled with addiction for an extended period of time.

Due to the chaos of our addictive lifestyle, many of us have made a move towards recovery only to struggle and relapse.

The longer we struggle with addiction and the more we relapse, the less likely it is that we believe there is hope for us to get free from the bondage of our dependencies and have a purposeful life.

Do I matter? Does anyone notice me? Does anyone care?
