New Life Each Day

Thursday January 12, 2017

How different each day in recovery becomes when we walk and talk with God. It’s wonderful to start the day with the promise of God’s unfailing love and goodness. We can be strengthened and encouraged as we remember that this day is a precious gift with fresh opportunities generously given to us by God.  We can be ourselves without the mask of addiction and explore our loving relationship with God.  We learn healthy ways of living by reading God’s word and talking with Him in prayer.  As we experience peace and security in our relationship with God, we can then share love and goodness with others.  In some recovery meetings, members join together to make the following statement referred to as the ‘Life Affirmations’:

 My life is of great beauty and infinite value.  God has a plan for my life that is meaningful, purposeful, and joyful.  There is a work for me to do today that will bless others and give me deep satisfaction.  God is always with me I need never face my problems alone.  Together with God any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.



This new life we’ve been given through the grace of God, this new season that is before us, begins with this new day.  Yesterday’s mistakes, blunders, worries and pain are behind us.  We cannot change what has been done.  Worries about potential problems which may or may not happen tomorrow are not within our grasp.  God, who knows the beginning from the end, will help us face whatever presents itself in this new day.  Together with God any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.  Jesus said:  I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world. (Matthew 6:33-34, John 16:33 NIV)

Prayer – Lord, You have given me this day in which to live and honour You.  Help me to be aware of my words and actions throughout the day and to seek guidance from You in all I do and say.  AMEN
