Recovery Meditations

When we were trapped in our own personal hell and in bondage to the substance that medicated us, we called out to God.

When we turned our will and life over to God many of us had hope for a quick turnaround in our lives.

The experience of life outside the will and care of God is helplessness and frustration when trials and temptations come our way.

God tells us to pray for one another, so what does that look like?

Jesus tells us that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

It is so much easier to name ways that others irritate us than to accept that there are ways we irritate others.

When someone or something is the best that it can be, we say it is mature or complete.

To make restitution is to restore something that was stolen or lost.

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

How do we come to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity?

We are often reluctant to admit problems and deal with painful events as they occur.

How do we find the courage to try something new or go after what we really want?
