Meditations on "Lies"

Step 5 – admitting to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

Sometimes we plan our future as if we know everything and God, who made us in His image, is not very competent at what He does.

Hear this, all you peoples; listen, all who live in this world, both low and high, rich and poor alike: My mouth will speak words of wisdom; the meditation of my heart will give you understanding.

In the past we may have experienced countless days of chaos in circumstances that were too much for us.

As we experience life with God in recovery we need to consider the people we spend time with and the emotional impact they have on us.

I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord! I will obey your decrees.

When we were living for our own self-interest and feeding our addictions, it was easy to become consumed by our own wants or needs.

God’s will for men and women is to live at peace with one another.

When we wandered in addiction we found ourselves trying to be loyal to our families, but our loyalty to our drug of choice often took priority.

People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace.

Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.

Our parents or caregivers are deeply connected to our lives on many levels.
