Meditations on "Serenity"

As we live in His will, we discover that whatever the cause of our anxiety, God is available to help us face any issues head on and overcome the challenges they may bring.

Demanding people believe they are entitled to what they deem to be their rights. On the other hand, a person making a respectful request recognizes that granting any request must be left to the discretion of the person being asked.

Jesus is with us. He offers us a relationship that will fill our hearts with peace and joy. When we open our hearts to Jesus, He will teach us how to have a deep and abiding relationship with Him, and with others.

No matter how far down the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience can benefit others.

How can we find the strength we need to feel joy and enthusiasm for this journey of growth again?

The transition from living in self-will to living in God’s will is a real test of faith. We may ask ourselves, “is there truly joy in walking in the ways of God?”

God promises us that we can live victoriously. We don’t need to just survive and cope with what life has handed us

Recovery begins when we admit that the power behind our addiction is beyond our control.

Will we, like Thomas, realize that something incredible happens when we ask Jesus to show us who He truly is?

Our trust must be in God even when we don’t understand everything we are going through.

If we seek God throughout each day, He will encourage us and give us guidance to deal with those things that concern us

Letting go of defensiveness is one necessary adjustment we need to make in order to experience growth and success in our life with God in recovery.
