Meditations on "Courage"

To live without fear we must intentionally choose to believe God and receive the kindness and tenderness He offers us.

Insomnia is extremely common in active drinkers and in those who are in recovery after having stopped drinking. The God who created us promises sleep to those he loves – that’s us.

What an amazing God we serve who sees us in our brokenness and is ready and willing to help us if we will just turn to him, repent of our wrongs, and sincerely give Him control of our lives.

We are instructed by God to look to Him for all we need and to give thanks for the generous gifts He provides for us each day. God will give us everything we need to live the life He has prepared for us. Being contented in God’s care with what He has provided for us will free us from the character defect of envy.

Regularly taking personal inventory helps us maintain our recovery and enjoy each day without the burden of yesterday’s issues being carried forward

Character defects will be removed as we become willing to follow God’s principles instead of choosing our own way.

The contrast of destructive self-centeredness in active addiction versus the healthy lifestyle of supporting one another in recovery is clearly expressed in Promise 7 of A.A:- We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our fellows. Learning and growing in our recovery and sharing our experience, strength, and hope with others, are ways we fulfill this principle

“Street smarts” took us to a dead-end on the road of life. Applying God’s wisdom will bring us to a full and satisfying life.

As we follow God’s plan for our lives, even if some details are inconvenient in the moment, we can be assured that the building of a wonderful life is in progress.

Living according to the wisdom of God has more benefits than we would ever have space to list.

People who walk with God in recovery look to Him for wisdom, hope, and direction

Life on God’s terms is the way of living we say we want when we come into recovery but we often stray from God’s way. To set things right, we start at the beginning and admit and repent of all our wrongdoing before God.
