Our Story Of A Faithful God As We Recover From Addiction

Saturday July 21, 2018

As we have experienced 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)

No matter how destructive the darkness and brokenness of our addiction has been God will tenderly bring us out of the pit when we 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.

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)




God says He will never fail us and God does not lie.  Even when we are unfaithful, God is still faithful.  God provides all we need to live as the individuals He created us to be.  Recovery is more the story of God’s faithfulness to us than our strength to endure.  God constantly reminds us that His strength is working in us and He has a plan and a purpose for our lives.  When we mess up His forgiveness is available the instant we repent and confess our failure.  We would get lost in the despair of brokenness if we did not believe that God loves us and holds us close to His heart.  We recover as we seek help and guidance from a faithful God through every challenge we encounter. 


Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I am grateful for your unconditional love for me.  Help me to be conscious of your presence ever with me as I am transformed into the likeness of Jesus.  Thank you that I can depend on You being with me in whatever I face each day.  Amen
