The verse that may become my all time favorite is the one I wrote in my Journal on my first AF day (Jan. 1)
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it." (1 Cor 10:13)
God is good all the time. It's not that I haven't been begging him for recovery for YEARS - (and have known this verse for a long time) ... I have been chained to addiction like a compulsive slave. Yet - Thanks be to Jesus Christ - I am holding the key to unlock the prison doors and I plan on walking out a free woman! ODAT  Just hours after I wrote this verse in my journal - I stumbled on to the MY WAY OUT website!!! I am thanking Him tonight for all of YOU! |
TIT ~ I just ran across this thread again - and remembered when I posted this. It is a gem to me as I now enter into my 8th month Alcohol Free. Thank you for starting this thread - and tonight I pray for you as you have had such a tough month.
God really does want for us to be whole and healed. He is the lover of our souls. I think of you as I read this post that was one of my very first posts here at MWO.
I love you so - in Jesus our Lord and Savior.
