Meditations on "Recovery"

God invites us to live in freedom. Freedom for us is so important to God that He was willing to give the life of His Son so that we could experience new life and peace.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate with God.

As we experience healing and transformation through daily living in the love and grace of God, we need to share our story – our experience, strength, and hope - with others.

There are many reactions to everyday stress. Some people try to flee the problem, in the hope that the irritation will go away.

When stressful situations come our way, and Jesus said they will, the best way forward is to make a conscious effort to turn to God and seek His help.

Stress has become a universal problem and many medical professionals consider it an underlying cause of many serious health problems.

From the chaos of our dysfunctional lives many of us called out to God with words like, “God if you are really there, please help me”.

Living a life of goodness, peace and joy reflects the Kingdom of God within us.

It is wise to make a conscious request to God for discernment so we get to know God’s will and have the power to carry it out in all our affairs.

When our will and God’s will differ, we need to determine that we will follow God’s will no matter what.

To avoid being led by our own imagination or desires, we need to make an honest assessment of our will verses God’s revealed will, and make any necessary adjustments to surrender to God’s plans.

How can I get discernment? What do I do with it when I get it?
