God is working on me!! - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

hopealwayz · 12-17-2005, 10:19 PM

I had a miracle happen earlier. I was watching something on TV and the people were drinking. That triggered the obsession which freaked me out...
..but...

Then I just started praying and praying...... AND GOD COMPLETELY REMOVED THE OBSESSION FROM ME! I didn't even think about it again-- God had took my thoughts and helped me focus on the positive.

That was my miracle for today. This is really great and I am happy that I am in recovery!

Love,
Cheryl

I find that is a constant. Works every time.

With God all things are possible. God is allowing peace into my heart and it feels great.

God placed a wonderful opportunity in my life to get this great, new apartment. I know that it is a blessing from God. At one point, I was kind of worried about whether I could find a good place and I had given up. Right at the poing that I gave up the apartment search, this opportunity fell right into my lap. THANK YOU GOD!
I have completely surrendered my will to Him and I feel so amazing. It is not easy and I have to pick up my cross daily to follow Him but it is so worth it!!

Heavenly Father, deliver me from the sin that entangles my
actions and pollutes my heart. Create in me a clean heart and renew
a right spirit in me through your Holy Spirit. Thank you for your
forgiveness and grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Seems that is the way for so much of life.

When I first became a Christian and was looking for a church to attend, I searched and looked till I said...no more... there isn't a good church with in miles. One day as I was going out for some breakfast, I was guided to the church I fellowship at. I was hungry and the Lord showed me a place that would feed my spiritual side, as I already knew where they had the $2.99 breakfast specials *LOL*

Finding a church was the last thing on my mind that day.
Jesus had other plans.

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD .... Psalm 46:10

God does not want us to worry. God does not want us to have anxiety over anything. It is when we finally stop and give it over to Him, that He will show us the way. His way.

I need prayers for strength tonight.
I pray that God will remove the pain in my broken heart soon.

I wish that I had a loving family. This emotional pain is so hurtful.

You have a loving family. When you hurt, others hurt with you.
Most of all, when you hurt, Jesus is hurting with you as well. He is our loving family and is always there, even when others are not.

*HUG*

Thanks Best,
that made me smile.

best · 12-26-2005, 08:48 PM

and now Jesus is smiling with the both of us.

hopealwayz · 01-07-2006, 08:56 PM

I am so glad that God still loves me even after everything that I have done.
No matter how many messes that I made in my life, the grace and redemption
was there to cover me.

That is beautiful love.

Thank you Jesus for always loving and forgiving me.

I'm feeling pretty stupid tonight because I have let that same guy hurt me again. He called me earlier and I took the call and just in that short time we talked, I have walked away with my aching heart and wondering why I keep letting him do this to me.

I guess I have always tried to believe the best in him. He isn't always a jerk, just at times, and he is very moody.

I have been trying to open his heart up to the good stuff that I know God created in him, but he keeps on shutting his heart to my words.

I think it may be time to flee and travel forward , but I don't know if I should just give up on him and write him off.

I don't even know if it is God's will for us to be friends. Maybe if it was God's will, it would not keep hurting like this.

I am just going to pray on it and wait on God to hear me.

Some plant seeds, some harvest.

When we plant the seeds, we like to see them grow. God does the growth part.

The guy knows where to gather the info. Let go and let God. If the guy returns, then you can share some more info.
