Letting go of defensiveness is one necessary adjustment we need to make in order to experience growth and success in our life with God in recovery.
It's hard to admit weakness or mistakes. We've spent so much time covering up those things with denial and substances that now it is a real challenge to hear truth and admit truth when there is something negative that needs to be faced. We feel insecure and we don’t have substances to cover up this painful emotion.
Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. (Psalm 25:5 NIV)

When I felt my feet slipping, you came with your love and kept me steady and when I was burdened with worries, you comforted me and made me feel secure. (Psalm 94:18-19 CEV)

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I want to live in the truth of who You say I am and what You know about the situations I am facing. Help me to turn to You when I feel defensive so You can comfort and guide me in the way I should go. Amen
