Meditations on "Powerless"

Why do we continue to do things our own way when it obviously isn’t working?

At what point in our lives did we desire to improve our conscious contact with God?

How encouraging it is for us to know that God is on our side and God always does what He promises.

We say it over and over again because it is true every day of our life: “We are powerless on our own.

We all go through times in our lives when we feel the sky is falling and we are unable to do anything about it.

Each day in recovery is another opportunity to learn and grow.

What do “people, places, and things” have to do with living well with God in recovery today?

At some point in our lives we became aware that we were powerless over our dependencies and that our lives had become unmanageable.

Recovery begins when we come to our senses and affirm that we are powerless over alcohol or some other substance or habit and that our lives have become unmanageable.

…The Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child!

Some of us have had the experience of being homeless while we lived in our dysfunctional lifestyle.

Repentance involves reviewing the things we have done and admitting that we have not lived up to our own moral standard, let alone to God’s standard.
