When we determined that we could no longer live in the insanity that was our daily life, we knew we needed to be free from the bondage of our dependency. We longed to have control over the chaos and confusion we lived in and decided to seek help in recovery. From those in the program we learned that there was a power greater than ourselves who could restore us to sanity, and we wanted to get to know more about this power.
He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great he is! His power is absolute! His understanding is unlimited. (Psalm 147:3-5 TLB)
Do not let any part of your bodies become tools of wickedness, to be used for sinning; but give yourselves completely to God. Each one of you must turn from sin, return to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; then you also shall receive this gift, the Holy Spirit. (Romans 6:13a; Acts 2:38 TLB)
God is a loving, caring Father who encourages us to learn about Him through reading the Scriptures. As we choose to obey God's word and follow His ways in all our affairs, our sanity will surely be restored.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Help me to know You more and to follow Your ways. I need to get my life back on track and admit that I am powerless to do so. Today I repent of my rebellious ways and choose to give my will and life over to Your care. Please restore me to sanity so I can live my life in peace and harmony with You and those around me. Amen
