Recovery Meditations

Some of us may have awakened this morning to the fact that our lives are unmanageable and that we are powerless over our addictive behaviour.

Happy New Year! This phrase will likely be heard many times throughout the day.

As we come to the end of this year, a year filled with both accomplishments and failures, it’s time to reflect on the events of the year that brought growth and joy in our journey with God in recovery.

Many of us face a new year wondering about the unknown.

How long are we prepared to do the daily ordinary things we need to do while we wait for God to bring about the plans He has prepared in advance for us to do?

Christmas is a time of exchanging gifts between friends and loved ones.

Christmas - it really happened! God came to our planet.

Christmas is a family holiday. People make a special effort to return home and be with family at Christmas.

"With God, nothing will be impossible." This is what the angel told Mary when he announced God's intention to have her give birth to His Son, Jesus.

Statistics tell us that 7 out of 10 shoppers on Christmas Eve will be men doing panic shopping for those they love.

The coming of Jesus to our world to reconcile us to our Heavenly Father is a powerful witness to the truth that our seemingly ordinary lives matter to God.

Favor with God is a special blessing of God to us. It releases an attraction within us that others are drawn to, empowering them to become willing to cooperate with us in those things we are planning to do.
