Don’t you love it when you find a scripture that says something you just can not verbalize? This weekend as I sat around a campfire I responded to a sincere question about my addictions. “Is it a daily struggle for you?” I have not thought about that time in my life where it was a minute to minute struggle in quite a while. God YOU are so good and ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: I give thanks to the LORD and praise His name.
What do we have to be thankful for? Let us count the ways. In the Celebrate Recovery Lesson 22 on Gratitude John Baker recommends we create a Gratitude List. First of all, what are we thankful to God for? Can we offer prayers of gratitude to the God who created us? This CR lesson on gratitude took me to Psalm 100. There are only five verses to ...

Affirmation of God: I will run the race God has set before me with perseverance.
The course has been laid out and marked. It’s race day are we ready? Of course we are as we just face it with an expectation of endurance and perseverance.

Are you facing a crisis or a temptation now? Lord please tell me what to do and show me the way to go. Am I living on His word? In times of crisis the ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: Abba, Father, all things are possible for you.
Full of confidence to zero confidence in one second flat. We humans are amazingly fickle. Likely to change, no, guaranteed to change. The 14th chapter of Mark is a clear picture of this. Even Jesus when He was living life in the flesh experienced this dichotomy. Jesus is God and He knew He came to die for our sins yet when the time was at hand ... Continue Reading »
Affirmation of God: God is faithful.
How quickly can we turn from God to self? Many days I cringe when writing out these affirmations because of the focus on “I”.
