Together With God

 God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone.  Together with God, any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.

 For too long we’ve tried to overcome problems on our own.  We were correct when we admitted that much of what was going on in us and around us was too complicated for us to sort out.  Where we went wrong was to let fear and insecurity overwhelm us and then turn to anger and addiction to avoid the problems we were encountering.  Our new life with God in recovery offers us hope that, together with God, any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.  That’s the key – with God.  How do we put this principle into practice in all our affairs? 

 God has unlimited power and He makes it available to us.  Before the world was created God had each of us in mind with a good plan for our lives.  Now that we are making ourselves available to His will, He is ready to show us that good plan.  He will also help us overcome any and all obstacles as we seek to live out His plan in all our affairs.  We may not know all the details, but God does.  We may think our problems will never end, but God will not allow us to go through trials one second longer than necessary to fulfill His purposes.  We can trust His good heart towards us. 

We are responsible, with God’s help, to faithfully work on problems until we see that the job is done.  Some problems will be resolved quickly, and others will take some consistent work over a period of time.  God will continue to give us strength and direction for each step.  Our challenge is to trust Him and obey. 

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, I don’t like problems and I quickly get fearful when I face challenges.  Help me to trust today that together with You any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.  Amen
