Meditations on "Powerless"

Each day in recovery is another opportunity to learn and grow.

What do “people, places, and things” have to do with living well with God in recovery today?

At some point in our lives we became aware that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our lives had become unmanageable.

Recovery begins when we come to our senses and affirm that we are powerless over alcohol or some other substance or habit and that our lives have become unmanageable.

…The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child!

Some of us have had the experience of being homeless while we lived in our dysfunctional lifestyle.

Repentance involves reviewing the things we have done and admitting that we have not lived up to our own moral standard, let alone to God’s standard.

Each Sunday we normally reflect on a Psalm, which is a poem from God's word.

Disharmony in our family, addiction, poverty, loneliness or other conflicts may have been part of our story.

The following words from a Psalm by King David were written after he had allowed his lust for a woman to lead him down the path of sexual immorality and murder.

The writer of today’s Psalm is putting his faith in a righteous and faithful God, and He asks Him to listen to his cry for help.

As we remember service men and women who served our nation in times of war and other national troubles, it’s good to be mindful of words from the Bible that prompt us to remember God’s help in our time of need.
