Meditations on "Surrender"

Some people who have no relationship with God will still pray when they are in trouble or when they really need help in a time of great distress.

…The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child!

To enjoy a healthy and satisfying life in recovery we need to recognize our need for growth in areas of our character which have been compromised.

Most of us have a face come to mind when we are asked to think of someone who is a "know-it-all.

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

Just for today I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once.

Requesting that God remove all our defects of character is asking Him to rid us of everything within that hinders our ability to live life to the full.

When you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

When we were trapped in our own personal hell and in bondage to the substance that medicated us, we called out to God.

One of our natural responses to pressure and challenge is to indulge in self-pity.

Since God has always loved us and consistently called us to Himself it makes sense that in recovery, we can expect God’s grace and love to take us forward.

Being grateful for the people around us and the things we have is of great value in leading a contented life in recovery.
