Meditations on "Temptation"

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

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

The Bible tells us that our thoughts reveal our true person.

Be an example to all believers in what you say, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity.

Where does trouble come from? Three main sources of trouble are: 1) Our Fallen World: We live in a world that is broken down because of sinful choices down through the ages.

To go forward in recovery we must find new direction for our lives, new ways of responding to issues, and new guidelines for making decisions.

What does prayer have to do with recovery, particularly relapse prevention?

The third way we face vulnerability is in our longing for approval of others.

We look today at the second area where Jesus was tempted.

A spiritual battle takes place every day of our lives and, without God’s help, we are vulnerable to attack and harm.

We began this week reflecting on whether we are “doughnut or hole” people.

When stressful situations come our way, and Jesus told us they will, let’s make a conscious effort to turn to God and seek His help.
