Recovery Meditations

As we choose for recovery from our former dependencies, we hear talk about God.

Often when we start to live sober in recovery we feel overwhelmed by past life events.

For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others.

Step 5 – admitting to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

God was reaching out in love to each of us long before we ever knew Him.

Homelessness has been an issue we often faced while in addiction.

Is there still hope for us after years of living in an addictive and destructive lifestyle?

Then the Lord gave me this message: “O Israel, can I not do to you as this potter has done to his clay?

Sometimes we plan our future as if we know everything and God, who made us in His image, is not very competent at what He does.

Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world, both low and high, rich and poor alike: My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.

For many of us it was pain associated with our addiction that brought us to recovery.

When we read the Bible we learn from faithful witnesses how God has worked to save His people from the sin that so easily overwhelms them.
