Meditations on "Recovery"

If we hold something in our hand and then let go of it, it will drop to the ground.

Do I truly want a life of intimacy with God in recovery?

Just for today I will seek to serve others with kindness, doing what is right, and walking humbly with God.

Our addictive behaviour was rooted in incorrect beliefs about relationships.

Your word, Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.

In our addiction we tried to cover the hurts in our past with substances or destructive behaviour because that was what seemed good at the time.

To prevent relapse in vulnerable times we need to allow our lives to be shaped continuously by God's principles.

At various times in recovery, especially early on, we feel vulnerable.

An essential part of our life with God in recovery is recognizing what is harmful and decaying and what is healthy and returning to life after a time of dormancy.

Seasons change. The temperature warms up. The grass begins to grow again.

Most people long for peace of mind and heart. Life with God in recovery provides many tools which help satisfy this deep longing within us.

My soul faints with longing for your salvation, but I have put my hope in your word.
