Meditations on "Anger"

Too often dealing with denial is incorrectly focused on the circumstances surrounding the use of our substance of choice or other destructive habits for which we are now seeking treatment and God’s help to overcome.

Jesus always spoke the truth. He encouraged people to follow Him because He is the way, the truth, and the life.

We don’t need to be told that emotional trauma is painful.

Part of being human is experiencing some wounding. It may be a scraped knee from falling, a burned finger from touching something hot, or a variety of other things that injure us.

God is always with me. I need never face my problems alone.

Across recovery circles we've been exposed to the word “HALT” (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) and its significance in our recovery.

Living a life of goodness, peace, and joy reflects the Kingdom of God within us.

Living with God in recovery often presents difficult challenges such as: waiting for something we feel desperately in need of right now; not retaliating with anger when someone harms us; living with less when we could scam our way into having more; facing the consequences of revealing a difficult truth.

God is willing, and more than able, to remove all our defects of character if we humbly ask Him.

O God have mercy on me, for people are hounding me.

Tony Bennet sang a song, “If I Ruled the World”.

At some point in our lives we came to an understanding that we could not continue as we were.
