Recovery Meditations

The Serenity Prayer, in either the short or full version, is said in 12- step meetings around the world.

To experience strength and hope for the future in our new life with God in recovery we need to stand firm in the power of the Holy Spirit.

No matter how strong we may feel, it’s not enough to bring us through to sustained recovery.

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching.

For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching.

Comparing our lives with those of others will make us vulnerable to relapse especially when we are encountering accusation and condemnation.

God wants us to be successful in recovery and in life.

Certain things affect us and may contribute to relapse if we dwell on them.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
