Meditations on "Temptation"

Happy New Year! This phrase will likely be heard many times throughout the day.

Step Ten: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.

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.

Once we’ve admitted to God what’s wrong, why must we share these details with someone else?

There are many battles in our lives that are much bigger than we are.

Do we have hope that we will break free from the use of an addictive substance or some harmful habit?

In the past we may have experienced countless days of chaos in circumstances that were too much for us.

The Bible tells us that when God's Spirit lives in us, our lives will demonstrate it by qualities such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Everyone wants a happy life. In the past some of us tried to achieve a good life by taking what seem to be faster or easier shortcuts.

To continue to live in God's power and prevent relapse in vulnerable times, we need to allow our lives to be continuously shaped by God's principles and plan for us.

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

Be careful! Watch out for attacks from the Devil, your great enemy.
