Came To Believe

At some point, in the darkness where we lived, we became aware that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our lives had become unmanageable.  By some miracle we found ourselves in a place where we were told that the next step to a health-giving life was, “coming to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.”  The challenge for us is, how do we come to believe?  How long does it take, and what is involved in the healing and restoration process?

God meets us at this place on our journey and reassures us of His love, His care, and that all the help we need is available.

It is God’s desire to restore us to a fulfilling relationship with Him.  As we seek God, we can ask Him for His help and direction for the journey of coming to believe that He exists, and will be there for us in our times of trouble and need.  

One step at a time God will show us a new life-giving way that will free us from the hatred and victimization we feel.  Daily reading the Bible and choosing to behave as God directs is foundational to our progress because it teaches us how merciful and kind God is to those who reach out to Him.  

As our actions follow God’s principles, we notice that our hearts are filled with peace.  We come to know this good and caring God is present with us offering us personal and practical help and support. As we begin to know God’s true character, we become willing to turn our will and life over to His care.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Forgive me for living so long in the misery of my own making. I have come to believe that You care for me and that You have the power to do what needs doing to restore me to sanity.  Help me to trust in Your unfailing love and in the truth that only in You will I find the peace and security that I desire in my life.  Amen
