#2310 The Word For Recovery
The Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. Romans 8:26

#2309 Daily Reflection
DO YOU BELEIVE?
Bible Reading: Galatians 3:1-9
Focus Verse: Galatians 3:6
As I have stated previously I grew up believing in God. What I didn’t believe is He had anything to offer me, because I believed God’s job was to help the weak and I never saw myself as weak.
I am and have always been a strong-willed individual. I see what I want and I go after it.
In recovery, this can be both a strength or a weakness. Strength because when I made a conscious decision to pursue recovery it was with 100% commitment. Weaknesses because I do not always give the right consideration to other people’s views, and sometimes I have to admit God’s leading. What helps me to overcome this is I believe strongly God is in control of my life and the life of others and I need to let Him lead.
– Do you believe God is in control?
– Are you prepared to let Him lead
Prayer: Lord today I give complete control of my life
4o Days of Recovery – Day 13
Titus, promote the kind of living that reflects wholesome teaching. Teach the older men to exercise self-control, to be worthy of respect, and to live wisely. They must have sound faith and be filled with love and patience. Similarly, teach the older women to live in a way that honors God. They must not slander others or be heavy drinkers. Instead, they should teach others what is good.
Titus 2:1-3
Many of us have known the importance of a trusted mentor. I’ve had a number in my spiritual journey without whom I probably would not be here today. Recovery groups or other Biblically sound support groups are also healthy ways to spend our time as we seek to know God better and to grow in spiritual knowledge.
Tomorrow we will be commencing week 3 of this six-week series ‘Building Healthy Support Networks.’ We can’t progress much in recovery in isolation. Developing healthy networks goes alongside turning our wills and lives over to God. We all need accountability in our lives in order to live the lives God has planned for us each.
