Meditations on "Recovery"

We come into recovery because we recognize we are powerless over addictive substances, people, or things that we have become dependent on to sustain life as we know it.

God has given gifts to everyone; no one has been left out.

When problems arise it's easy to forget that God cares about us.

Life is a journey and from its beginning to its end we are all influenced by the environment we live in.

The new birth we receive when we give our will and life over to the care of God is also the end of our old life dominated by sinful thoughts formed in an unspiritual mind.

When Jesus was here on earth, He often went off on His own to pray.

Across the planet there are discussions about how to protect old growth forests.

How many times in our addictive lifestyle were people looking for us, seeking to do us harm?

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

When God wants to paint a picture, He does so very effectively.

E One day Jesus and his followers discussed the challenges that people experience when they choose to give up self-will and follow God’s will.

Emotions, stress, illness, troubles in a relationship, or just talking about the past can trigger an obsession in us to relapse.
