Meditations on "Temptation"

God wants us to live in victory over temptation. He promises that in every situation this is possible.

Anyone who has tried to break free from the harmful use of a substance or an addictive habit does not need a dictionary to help them understand temptation.

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

God invites us to live in freedom. Freedom for us was so important to God that He was willing to give the life of His Son so that we could experience new life and peace.

Success in life and in recovery results from giving priority to learning and obeying God’s word.

Doughnuts have both dough and holes when they are first cut, but they don’t look good or taste good until they’ve been fried in hot oil or baked in a hot oven to enhance their flavour.

To be “relapse proof” we must be fully surrendered to a life that prioritizes God’s will in all we think, say and do.

Happy New Year! Really? Some of us may have woken up this morning to the fact that our lives are unmanageable and that we are powerless over our addictive behaviour.

What tools am I using to help me assess, reflect, learn, and grow in my recovery?

There is good news for those who have struggled with addiction for an extended period of time.

On Remembrance Day we honour veterans who fought for peace and freedom in World Wars, the Korean War, and more recently in Middle East conflicts.

You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
