Meditations on "Recovery"

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?

) People with discernment naturally do the right thing in each situation.

Coming into a recovery group setting is threatening for many of us.

What if each of us lived more like Jesus and let goodness and love flow freely from us to others?

Today we continue to look at conditions which will help us walk in the life-giving ways of peace and blessing that God desires for us.

Who wants trouble? None of us do and as we listen to God’s counsel there’s a lot of trouble we can avoid.
