Transition is difficult for us when we first come into recovery. It requires that we leave behind a known way of life and transition to a new way of living. What has been known to us in the past is comfortable, even though it may not have been good for us and most certainly was not the best way for us. Growth requires change. A seed is put in the ground and dies so that a new life form may develop. Flowers and fruit grow in their season. Unless the fruit is eaten or the flowers are picked and arranged to beautify a setting, both will wither and die where they have grown. Dead plants may be plowed back into the ground to provide nutrients for the next crop to come. Transition takes place from one season to the next.
The Lord will lead you. He himself is with you. He will not fail you or leave you. Don’t worry. Don’t be afraid! (Deuteronomy 31:8 ERV)
The Lord says, “I will teach you and guide you in the way you should live. I will watch over you and be your guide. (Psalm 32:8 ERV)
Prayer: Loving God, as I face this day, give me the strength and courage to make whatever transition is necessary in my heart, in my thinking, and even in my circumstances, so that my character defects will go, and Your will becomes the desire of my heart in all my affairs. Amen
