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 and deal with problems on our own.  We were being truthful when we admitted that what was going on in us and around us was too complicated for us to sort out.  Where we went wrong was to allow fear and insecurity to overwhelm us and, to ease the pain of the problems we were encountering, we turned to our addictive substance.  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.  As we make ourselves available to God’s will, He is ready to show us His good and perfect plan for us.  As we seek to live out His plan in all our affairs, God will help us overcome any obstacles.  We may not know all the details of the plan, but God does.  We may think our problems will never end, but God will not allow us to go through trials one moment longer than necessary to fulfill His purposes.  Can we trust His good heart towards us? 

 With God’s help we are responsible to faithfully work on problems until we see the work is complete.  Some problems will be resolved quickly, and others will take 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 put my trust in the truth of Your Word so that together with You, any difficulty can be worked out and overcome.  Amen
