Since God has always loved us and consistently called us to Himself, it makes sense that in recovery, we can expect God’s grace and love to take us forward. Why then do we find it difficult to follow His will and put our lives into His care?
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” (1 Peter 5:7, Hebrews 13:5b NLT)
So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” (Hebrews 13:6 NLT)
Who is this God to whom we should surrender our will and our lives? We may not fully know Him or how good He is, but if we choose to begin our journey with the little understanding we have, we will discover that His promises are trustworthy, and He is even better than we could hope for or imagine.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23:6 NLT)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I repent and turn away from my sin and ask You for a clean heart and the gift of Your Holy Spirit as You have promised. I trust you to do in me even more than I could ask for or imagine. I pray Your will, not mine, be done. Please help me to practice Your principles in all my affairs. Amen
