Speak Up!

Psalm 142:2 I pour out my problem to him. I tell him about my trouble.

Real men don’t ask for help! That is what I believed growing up. Real worked hard, played hard and were fine under all circumstances. If something wasn’t right, you fixed it.

That is the attitude I had when I first decided I needed to do something about my drinking. I knew I was an alcoholic and believed changing it was up to me. It had nothing to do with anyone or anything else. Is it any wonder it never worked?

I put all my effort into fixing my drinking problem and ignoring my living problem. Recovery is not just about believing God exists but also believing He cares, is willing to listen to us and to help us recover.

  • Are you convinced God cares about you?
  • Are you ready to talk to Him about your problems?

#Willing #Ready #Believe

SHARE YOUR TESTIMONY
Come and listen, all of you who have respect for God. Let me tell you what he has done for me. Psalms 66:16

TELL THE TRUTH
Anyone who guards what he says guards his life. But anyone who speaks without thinking will be destroyed. Proverbs 13:3

LISTEN TO OTHERS
Everyone should be quick to listen. But they should be slow to speak. They should be slow to get angry. James 1:19

FIND A SPONSOR
Listen to advice and accept what you are taught. In the end you will be wise. Proverbs 19:20

Prayer: Lord help me today to speak honestly and openly to You.

Forward Steps (2)

Hosea 6:3 Let’s recognize him as the Lord. Let’s keep trying to really know Him.

It is necessary in the process of recovery to subscribe to ‘One Day at a Time.” as a real responsibility. That doesn’t mean we can’t plan for our future well-being. Some days will be harder than others, bringing uncertainty, doubt, unpleasant surprises and a whole host of baffling and disturbing thoughts, feelings and experiences. But ‘WE WILL COPE.’ Sometimes well, sometimes not so well but always coping.

These times can be our first experiences of life transformation.

Jesus Christ promises to be with us always. We are to “walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7) We can count on Him, even when the going gets tough.

As we trust and discover His wonderful availability, we grow in strength and faith, and reliance on Him.

Feelings will come and go as we learn to walk this ‘New and Living Way’ The Good News is we can always count of Him as we continue to move forward in His strength.

Agree with one another. Live in peace. And the God who gives love and peace will be with you. 2 Corinthians 13:11

Show proper respect to everyone. Love the community of believers. Have respect for God. 1 Peter 2:17

My dear brothers and sisters, listen to me. Hasn’t God chosen those who are poor in the world’s eyes to be rich in faith? Hasn’t he chosen them to receive the kingdom? Hasn’t he promised it to those who love him James 2:5

#Experience #Love #Promises

Prayer: Lord, let everyday in my life be a day of new discoveries of how meaningful Your promises can be to me.
