Recovery Meditations

When we think that we are so great that we can do recovery alone we need to share our thoughts with a trusted friend or mentor.

Surrendering our minds to the Lordship of Jesus Christ brings peace to our whole being.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God will give you.

Honouring our parents involves different things at different stages in our life.

Life in addiction is an expression of the breakdown of honour and respect in relationships that God created us to experience and enjoy.

When it came to promises and commitments, Jesus put high value on simple, clear, and responsible talk.

One of the best ways to help ourselves get out of the habit of voluntary or involuntary swearing and filthy talk is to keep ourselves away from situations, as much as possible, where cursing and swearing are the norm.

In present day society we hear so much profanity in music, in movies, on the street, and in print that it almost seems the normal way to talk.

What does speaking honourably have to do with recovery?

God commands that we honour our Father and Mother. This command may also be applied to our primary care givers.

Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
