Our Story Of A Faithful God As We Recover From Addiction
As we experience healing and transformation through daily living in the love and grace of God, we need to share our story – our experience, strength, and hope - with others.
Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV)
God is faithful and does not want anyone to be destroyed. No matter how deep the darkness and brokenness of addiction has been, God is faithful and will tenderly bring us out of the pit when we choose to surrender our lives to Him. Each day in recovery is a testament to God’s unfailing love and faithfulness to us. God never tires of accompanying us and guiding us. We are never left to face our problems alone. We have times when we feel conscious of God’s presence and times when we do not. However, God is always with us and He is working for our good in every situation. Only with God’s help will we take permanent steps forward in our recovery for He promises He will never fail us.

God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” He will send help from heaven to rescue me, disgracing those who hound me. My God will send forth his unfailing love and faithfulness. (Hebrews 13:5, Psalm 57:3 NLT)
Even when we are unfaithful, God is still faithful. He gives us the power and the wisdom we need to be the person He created us to be. Recovery is more the story of God’s faithfulness to us than our strength to endure. If God didn’t hold onto us we’d give up and be lost again in the despair of brokenness. However, God consistently reminds us that He has a purpose for our lives and His strength is working in us. When we mess up, His forgiveness is available the instant we confess our failure. We recover as we hold onto a faithful God through each challenge we encounter. More information on this and other related topics @ http://www.partnersinhope.ca/life-with-god-in-recovery-resources/
