Meditations on "Surrender"

Being grateful for the people around us and the things we have contributes to living a contented life in recovery.

Moving forward in identifying character defects and allowing God to help us develop our true character is no easy process.

What does it mean to humbly ask God to remove our shortcomings?

Many people who come into recovery seeking victory over drugs and alcohol often find themselves relapsing when they refuse to obey God’s teaching on sexual purity.

Anger in our society is rampant. Most of us have a hard time dealing with anger.

We will experience freedom and fulfillment in life only when God’s desires become our desires, God’s way becomes our way, and God’s word becomes our action plan.

God created us to live in loving relationship with Him.

How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!

When we struggle to do what is right it can be helpful to remember that God knows about the battle and provides a promise for success with a clear strategy for attaining it, “keep alert and pray”.

My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.

When we first give our will and life over to the care of God, we often still have a blind spot to our wrongdoing.

Living in recovery and following the Twelve Steps is a spiritual journey.
