Meditations on "Temptation"

God promises to supply what we need to overcome temptation.

When thoughts of relapse enter our thinking, telling ourselves the truth about who we are has a significant impact on how we behave.

In recovery, and in life in general, situations often arise which cause us to believe that we are alone and have no one to turn to for help.

When we become unsettled in our recovery we often find that we begin to entertain risky thoughts that make us vulnerable to relapse.

Do I matter? Does anyone notice me? Does anyone care?

Canada is a nation founded on principles that honour the God who created us.

Low self-esteem. No self-worth. We make a mistake and we feel like we are a failure.

I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord! I will obey your decrees.

God wants us to be successful in recovery and in life.

Today we hear so much profanity in music, in movies, on TV, on the street, and in print that it almost seems it’s the normal way to communicate.

Just for today I will seek to serve others with kindness, doing what is right, and walking humbly with God.

To prevent relapse in vulnerable times we need to allow our lives to be shaped continuously by God's principles.
