Recovery Meditations

Those of us who just like doing familiar things that appeal to us will find it a challenge to be willing to live in the ways of God.

What is loyalty? Someone who is loyal is dependable and will do what they have committed to.

Just for today I will adjust myself to what is and not try to adjust everything else to my desires.

When we are hoping to attend a scheduled event we often rely on another person to do something that will enable us to get to the event.

Soft addictions are habits or behaviors we use to control distressing moods or thought patterns.

God invites us to a life of gentleness where we honour truth, respect the dignity of everyone, including ourselves, and delight in the joy and wonder of each new day.

In the Bible Jesus told a story about a father and two sons.

At various times on our recovery journey we are asked to take personal inventory.

Shame is a powerful emotion which repeatedly tells us that we are worthless, unacceptable, unforgiveable, and have no place in a loving relationship.

Often people who have no relationship with God will pray when they are in trouble or when they urgently need help in a time of great distress.

Practicing an attitude of gratitude – is this just a happy little slogan or is it a way of daily living that will change our outlook on life?

In the Bible we read of all the good things that God will do for those who have given their will and life into His care.
