Recovery is sustained in daily turning on the light switch. If we don't, the darkness gradually deepens until we feel we are helpless and that life is hopeless.
Why don't we flip on the light switch? Often it is because we trust in our own power. We think we can do this by ourselves. And where has that gotten us? --to that sense of hopelessness.
How do we flip on the light switch? We join in fellowship with others-both self help and spiritual. We pray. Sometimes that prayer is as simple as "I could use some help here!" We read scripture. Look at the Psalms. Talk about places people felt hopeless!
We trust in the promises of God. Check out the Apostle Paul's letter to the Ephesians Chapter 3 Verse 20..."the power that is at work in us."
We flip on the light switch by reminding ourselves daily that His power is at work in us---and having our day and our choices illuminated by His power.
Blessings-Penny
