Meditations on "Surrender"

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

How can I know all the sins lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults.

We are faced with choices every day as we journey forward in recovery.

When we have admitted to ourselves and another human being the harm we have caused in our rebellious lifestyle, the next step is to ask God to redeem us from our self-centered way of living.

From cover to cover the Bible is filled with wisdom and good direction for our lives.

Persons who are living in an addictive lifestyle seldom consider what is happening in the lives of family and friends.

Many people believe that freedom to act as they choose gives them the opportunity to have the most control over their own lives.

O people, the Lord has told you what is good, and this is what he requires of you: to do what is right, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

Relapse can catch us more easily when we allow our minds to drift away from God’s truth and linger instead on foolish obsessions.

Taking responsibility for our lives means owning our behaviour, confessing our sin, and turning away from destructive actions.

God is willing to support us and strengthen us as we lay down our own self-directed ways and invite Him to lead us along the path He has chosen for us.

Living wisely means seeking direction from God’s word and the counsel of others who have walked closely with God.
