Meditations on "Lies"

I pray with all my heart; answer me, Lord! I will obey your decrees.

When we were living for our own self-interest and feeding our addictions, it was easy to become consumed by our own wants or needs.

God’s will for men and women is to live at peace with one another.

When we wandered in addiction we found ourselves trying to be loyal to our families, but our loyalty to our drug of choice often took priority.

People who wink at wrong cause trouble, but a bold reproof promotes peace.

Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long.

Our parents or caregivers are deeply connected to our lives on many levels.

Most of us are well aware of the damage we did to ourselves, our families, and to others in the community when we disregarded God’s authority and tried to do things our own way.

God’s purpose in creating humans in His likeness was that they would be able to have a relationship with Him and would project His image on the earth, in the same way His image is projected in the heavens where He resides.

Who can we trust? Who's reliable? Who tells the truth?

The foundation of our new life in recovery is based on finding life with the one true God.

Negative feelings are usually attached to a lie. To get beyond negative feelings we actually have to reject the attached lie and choose for the truth while our feelings are still vulnerable.
