Recovery is scary

Recovery is scary. Even thinking about recovery is scary. It's a life transformation, and big changes in life are always frightening...but because Christ walks with us, we can have hope, faith and courage.

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.

Christ walks with us, every step we take. Unfortunately, some of us have taken Christ into some pretty shameful places!

But He forgives us, understands our weaknesses, and rejoices when we call to Him with humility and faith. Although we may be fearful facing the journey of recovery, we know he'll be withus each step of the way.

Psalm 23


The Lord is my shepard;
I shall not want
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For his name's sake
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For you are with me;
Your rod and your staff they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever

Enough said.


Ephesians 6:11


Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.


We feel afraid because we feel alone. But we only feel alone when we do not feel God's love. Pray to Him for strength, courage,love. Feel your heart swell with God's love until there can be no room for fears that hold you back.

Who among us can resist "the devil's schemes" alone? We are weak, and faced with enough temptation, few of us can resist. But the Lord is strong, and the Lord will cloak us in an armor of faith. All we have to do is ask for it!
