Meditations on "Recovery"

A remarkable change takes place in our thinking and even our desires when we turn our will and our lives over to God’s care.

Saturday – a day to relax and unwind from the busy responsibilities of the week, to do some errands and tidy up things that may have become cluttered during the week.

To continue to live in God's power and prevent relapse in vulnerable times, we need to allow our lives to be continuously shaped by God's principles and plan for us.

As we enter into life with God in recovery, we often feel quite vulnerable.

When we finally admitted that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our life had become empty and unmanageable, we sought a recovery program.

For it was I, the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt.

When we wandered in addiction we found ourselves trying to be loyal to our families, but our loyalty to our drug of choice often took priority.

People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace.

God offers us a loving relationship with Himself. When we experience that relationship, we will be healthy enough to establish loving relationships with others.

When we face difficulties and problems we often ask ourselves questions such as: Does God care about me?

Problems! Problems! Problems! Sometimes life seems full of them.

Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.
