Meditations on "Recovery"

Good eyesight is a great gift. With our eyes we see and admire the beauty that God has put in our natural environment.

Blessed are those who live in your house. They are always praising you.

The full version of the Serenity Prayer said at most recovery gatherings contains the words, “Taking, as Jesus did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it”.

We all need a certain amount of money to buy food and clothes, pay the rent, and get around from one place to the next.

Living life with God in recovery is a learning process.

Becoming willing to live each day in a new way is a challenge for those of us who are used to running our own lives and doing our own thing.

God’s Word often speaks about our enemies and these are the “enemies of our soul.

It’s easy for us to become discouraged and feel sorry for ourselves when life doesn’t go the way we think it should.

Just for today I will seek to serve others with kindness, doing what is right, and walking humbly with God.

All of us rely on ourselves to some degree to do those things that are important for life and happiness.

We seldom have a day when we are not worried about something.

God is aware of every difficult moment we have experienced and the pain we have endured for every wrong done to us or by us.
