Transition is difficult for us when we first come into recovery. It requires that we leave behind a known way of life and transition to a new way of living. What has been known to us in the past is comfortable, even though it may not have been good for us and most certainly was not the best way for us. Growth requires change.

Making amends is a responsibility we must take very seriously if we want to protect our sobriety. When we make amends under the guidance of our loving God, everyone is blessed.

Insomnia is extremely common in active drinkers and in those who are in recovery after having stopped drinking. The God who created us promises sleep to those he loves – that’s us.

We experience true freedom when we have a clean slate with God.  When we humbly admit our faults and sins to God, with a sincere desire to be changed, God is faithful to forgive us.

In an unsteady world in uncertain times, how good it is to know that God, the truly faithful one, makes promises to us and we can rest assured that they will be fulfilled through all generations.

People in the Bible who are our examples in praying are those who were not afraid to bring all their needs to God and to keep on asking. They ask for God’s help because God is good.  They ask for God’s help because they know they need help.  They ask for God’s help whenever they are in trouble because they know that God will hear and answer their cry for help. They know that God has unfailing love and help for all who will simply ask for it.
