Each day in recovery is another opportunity to learn and grow. We all know that to stand strong in recovery we need God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves, but we also need to do for ourselves what we can. Today we are invited to remember, celebrate, and give thanks for what God has done for us that we could never have done for ourselves.
Sometimes winter months seem long and gloomy and there are also moments in recovery when we feel like the journey has been long and hard. At times like these, it is good to pause and reflect on how different things are now compared to when we were struggling in our brokenness. Today, let’s take time to hit the “pause button”, look around us, and see those things we are grateful for.
Bless our God, O peoples! Give him a thunderous welcome! Didn’t he set us on the road to life? Didn’t he keep us out of the ditch? (Psalm 66:8-9 MSG)
Wherever we share today – on our phone, in a conversation, or at a meeting – let’s share with gratitude about our gracious God who set us on the road to life.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Thank You for being there for me when I couldn’t even be there for myself. Thank You for making a way for me to receive forgiveness and healing and life before I even asked You for it. Today, I reaffirm my trust in Jesus, who did for me on the cross what I could never do for myself. Today I thank You for my life. Amen
