Our Vulnerability To Emptiness
At various times in recovery, especially early on, we feel vulnerable. We’ve stepped away from the familiar life we knew. Even though our lifestyle was destructive to our well-being, it was still the life we knew. Now we are experiencing a nagging sense of unsettledness brought on by this major life change. In these times of vulnerability and weakness God makes some astounding promises to us.
By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him … he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires. (2 Peter 1:3-4 NLT)
Some of us may say, “That’s a lovely promise but how do we activate the switch that unlocks these resources for us?” Fortunately, it’s not a complicated process.
2) We become more and more stable as we read about God’s plans and promises in the Bible, and then choose to behave accordingly. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. (2 Timothy 3:16 NLT)
Prayer: Heavenly Father, Help me to persevere in putting Your principles into daily practice. I trust You for peace of mind and heart as I quiet my rebellious thoughts and choose for the peace and contentment that comes from doing what is right and good. Amen
