PRAYER

The secret of a close relationship with God is to pray to Him earnestly each morning. In the morning, our minds are freer from problems, and then we can commit the whole day to God. Regular communication helps any friendship and is certainly necessary for a strong relationship with God. We need to communicate with Him daily. Do you have a regular time to pray and read God’s Word? Psalm 5:1-3

Thanksgiving should be an integral part of our prayer to God. As we praise and thank God for the material and spiritual blessings He bestows on us we should also thank Him for answered prayer. Remember when you asked God for protection, strength, comfort, patience, love, or other special needs, and He supplied them? Beware of taking God’s provision and answered prayer for granted.. Psalm 138:3

Have you ever grown tired of praying for something or someone? Paul says we should “devote” ourselves to prayer and be “alert” in prayer. Our persistence is an expression of our faith that God answers our prayers. Faith shouldn’t die if the answers come when we think they should, the delay may be God’s way of working His will in our lives. When you feel tired of praying, know that God is present, always listening, always answering—maybe not in ways you had expect, but in ways that He knows are best. Colossians 4:2

Ephesians 6:18

I READ THIS, THIS MORNING: and it sounds like good advice.

How can anyone pray at all times? One way is to make quick, brief prayers your habitual response to every situation you meet throughout the day. Another way is to order your life around God’s desires and teachings so that your very life becomes a prayer. You don’t have to isolate yourself from other people and from daily work in order to pray constantly. You can make prayer your life and your life a prayer while living in a world that needs God’s powerful influence. We also should pray for all others in Christ; so pray for those you know and for the church around the world.

Take everything the Master has set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way. This is no afternoon athletic contest that we’ll walk away from and forget about in a couple of hours. This is for keeps, a life-or-death fight to the finish against the Devil and all his angels. Be prepared. You’re up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it’s all over but the shouting you’ll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You’ll need them throughout your life. God’s Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each other’s spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out. Ephesians 6:11-18

God has a plan for each of us, and for us as a group. He knows the plan, directs the plan through our life occurrences. And, He is with us every step of His plan. We need to learn a we grow in faith to apply what we have learned of His plan and through the recovery process to every area of our lives. God is a God if involvement, and He wants to be involved in every area of our lives (not just the parts we give Him access to because we feel we need His help in them) He will help us get through whatever life throws at us if we are willing to put our faith in Him and trust Him.

God wants us to be prepared for whatever life is going to throw at us and He wants us to seek help and guidance from others, more mature in faith than we are We need to learn how to apply His truth, His peace and His Salvation to daily living and we need to pray, often, hard and long for His guidance and involvement.

Step 12 says ‘Having gone through these steps and discovering the importance of an individual relationship with God through Jesus, I will try to live according to His principles and to lead others to a personal relationship with Him.’ We are called by God, through the process of recovery to encourage others as we walk the ‘Road to Recovery’ together. And, to make sure we do what it is in our power to do to make sure that no one is left behind.

GOD CALLS US TO BE OBEDIENT TO HIM

Living Life Recovery Is a process

I know it is old but ‘Living Life Recovery’ is still a process. In 2021 it is my intention to begin again using this podcast account. God said to Moses, “What’s that in your hand?” Exodus 4:2 So in 2021 it is my intention to use the tools I already have available to me to share my experience, strength, and hope with others of RECOVERY – REPENTANCE – REBIRTH in order for God to use what I have learned and practices since 1987 with those still suffering the negative effects of their addictions and compulsions and/or the addictions and compulsions of a loved one or a friend.

SHARE THE ‘GOOD NEWS’

You experienced it all firsthand. With each of you, we were like a father with his child, holding your hand, whispering encouragement, showing you step-by-step how to live well before God, who called us into his own kingdom, into this delightful life. 1 Thessalonians 2:11-12

The phrase “Your kingdom come.” In the Lord’s prayer is a reference to God’s spiritual reign in our lives. It is present in our lives [Luke 17:21] People will not say, ‘Here it is.’ Or, ‘There it is.‘ God’s kingdom is among you .” Through it all evil is destroyed and God established new heaven and a new earth [Revelation 21:1] I saw a new heaven and a new earth. The first heaven and the first earth were completely gone.

This is ‘Good News’ we are a part of it and we have the privilege through the process to recovery to invite others to be a part of it and help them develop Christ-like characters through understanding and implementing the Word in th eir lives with His help.

Does the opportunity of sharing the ‘Good News’ with others excite you?

Prayer: Thank You God for the opportunities You are giving me to share the ‘Good News’ of Living Life Recovery with others.

To keep it you have to share it. ” I am sure we have all heard that saying at some stage of our recovery journey.

When we experience recovery. When our lives are changed through faith we want to share it.

There is no greater experience in my opinion than to tell people about your experience of recovery. The “ Good News ” about Jesus Christ also needs to be shared. After all none of us got to where we are now on our own. As we progress in the process of recovery we must never forget those who are still suffering, those who are waiting to hear our message of hope for their lives.

– When did you last share the “ Good News ” about recovery?
