Meditations on ""

Sometimes we think we have got recovery because we are feeling fine. It's when we think like this that we are most vulnerable to relapse to our substance of choice, or habit, or of sliding into other unhealthy behaviours.

Recovery is a time of learning to find serenity in our healing, and blessing God while also accepting life as it is, not as we would have it.

Only God, with His infinite wisdom, can give us the experience, strength, and hope we need to be successful.

We wanted change but were not always willing to humbly ask God to make those changes in us.

It’s in the turning of our will and our life over to God on a moment by moment, day by day basis, that we are safe under the protection of God.

What will we do today to welcome God’s truth into our lives and allow it to give us insight for moving forward?

As we pray with a quiet heart and listen, we will hear God’s voice echoing in our ears “I love you”.

We must seek God and give Him control in revealing what needs to go, as well as when, and how.

Because of God’s unfailing love for us, we can look at our past with eyes wide open.

When we know we are loved and accepted, our hearts are touched, and we begin to experience peace and the security of belonging.

God knows what we need in every area of our life and He promises to take care of us if we will come to Him first and let Him work out His will in each situation.

Past trauma can easily be triggered by news and events around us. Is there relief from this deep grief and pain?
