Turning our will and life over to the care of God as we understand Him is just the beginning of our new life with God in recovery. We have much to learn and as we wholeheartedly seek to know God’s principles for life as recorded in the Bible, He will give us discernment to do what is right in all our affairs.
Yes, if you cry out for discernment and lift up your voice for understanding; if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. (Proverbs 2:3-5 NKJV)
Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. (James 1:7-8 NLT)
God supports a pure heart even when our decision is a timid one. As we truly desire to follow Him, God encourages us and works on our behalf to bring restoration and healing in those places that have been broken. It is not in our own power to amend who we are. That is only done by the Power greater than ourselves. He’s the one who restores us to a good, pleasing, and perfect life.
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you. (2 Corinthians 13:11 NIV)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I give my will and life fully into Your care. Please carry on Your renewing work in every part of my being until I am perfected in You. Amen
