Meditations on "Powerless"

As we walk with God, we will become more confident that He truly is a place of refuge from the storms of life

With God, we truly have had a spiritual awakening.

In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. (Psalm 118:5 NLT)

But put God's kingdom first. Do what He wants you to do. Then all those things will also be given to you. (Matthew 6:33 NIRV)

However imperfect or ineffective we see ourselves, God is calling us to the plan He has for our lives.

When we were powerless over our addiction how many times did people try to help us see the truth about our problem?

God won’t stop us from making bad choices. His desire is for us to choose and experience life and love but, that is our choice to make.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Life has its ups and downs and does not always treat us fairly.

Some of us wonder where life will take us if we give our will and life over to the care of God.

At some point, in the darkness where we lived, we became aware that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our lives had become unmanageable.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
