Meditations on "Surrender"

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.

As we begin to follow God’s principles in all affairs, we may have questions about the future and how God is going to work everything together for our good and His glory.

For all of us there came a time when we could no longer avoid the realization that our lives were a mess.

Shout for joy to the Lord, everyone on earth. Worship the Lord with gladness.
