Meditations on "Serenity"

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.

It is a fair question to ask why we are bored and impatient with where life is at today.

Recovery is a time of learning to find serenity in our healing, and blessing God while also accepting life as it is, not as we would have it.

We must seek God and give Him control in revealing what needs to go, as well as when, and how.

God knows what we need in every area of our life and He promises to take care of us if we will come to Him first and let Him work out His will in each situation.

The contentment that God gives is priceless and cannot be bought with silver or gold.

We can dare to be optimistic about life and our recovery because God’s unconditional love will strengthen and build us up

We are growing in our faith that God’s ways are good and are seeking His guidance before we act.
