Meditations on "Trust"

The disciplines of prayer and meditation help us hear from God and correctly handle the ongoing events of our lives. 

Knowing God is with us and promises us victory will steady us and give us the courage to do the next right thing, even in our weakest moments.

Strength comes as we learn to give thanks to our gracious God who is good, and whose love is available to us 24/7.

As we spend time with Jesus, the Prince of Peace, we acquire qualities that make us more like Him.

We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

Our restored self-worth is not based on what we may feel or what others say about us, but rather on what God says.

We are human beings confined within the slice of time we call today.

While it is good to do our part to work towards solutions, in the end it always comes back to seeking God’s will in the moment and trusting God’s plan to work for us. 

Perhaps it is time to reflection who we really want to have authority over our lives.

Do we praise God for those things that have taken place, and are we able to see and believe for those things God has promised that are yet to come?

It is God's desire that we live joyfully today. Let's follow His instructions and let the joy flow.

To succeed at living well in recovery with God, we need to rely on His promises.  The comforting words we read in the Bible help us persevere through the trials and the pain that we experience.
