Whether it be an addiction to negative behaviors, limiting mindsets, alcohol or other nefarious illegal substances, we are all on our individual road to recovery. But just because our redemption is individual, does not mean that we are alone in our journey.
In today’s message I want you to know that God does not judge us based on our worst, but by the faith that we carry even through the darkest of times. Though we are all susceptible to varying degrees of negative addictions in our lives, we must never accept that this is how we are meant to be. There is a everlasting remedy for all of life’s afflictions and we should never attempt to hide it all by partaking in alcohol or harmful substances just to try and “forget” the pain.
“This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: ‘I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will heal you.’ ” – 2 Kings 20:5
Christ, The Wonderful Counselor
As Philippians 4: 6-7 boldly puts forth, “Do not be nervous concerning anything, but instead in any circumstance, through devotions while being grateful, dedicate your appeals to your creator. Following the serenity of God which comes before understanding, will shield your minds and hearts in the name of Christ.”
Whilst addiction creates a pure fixation on negative influences to “feel better” or to “numb the pain”, there are ways in which you can reverse that negative energy into something truly useful. You just need the proper channel to divert your fiercest passions and desires to.
Hide not your pain away, but instead lift them up humbly to the Lord in faith and He will take your suffering away. He will never turn away those who seek his blessing. In Christ you are made whole, from the top of your head to soles of your feet, you will be renewed in the light of God.
“He will not let your foot slip—he who watches over you will not slumber”
– Psalm 121:3
Take wise counsel in the Word of the Lord and communicate to Jesus, the wonderful counselor, through prayer daily. In prayers we receive captivate blessings, peace, and enlightenment on the intentions of God towards your life.

However, as your saint, I am inspiring you to be confident that a transformation will traverse in your life. It doesn’t matter the time it will take to achieve so, but remember that God does not fail and his intention is for you to be at peace and satisfied in the world he has leased you.
To be certain that your efforts will table success, always have the Lord at your side while praying through Christ’s name.
Let Us Pray
“Heavenly God, we admit that it is not possible to lead through life in your absence. We give you the honor and seek your directives in our life to free us from sin. Guard me against all addictions and sinful thoughts. Heal my mind and heart with your grace, and strengthen me in your wisdom. I pray that you may secure us a chance in eternal life. St. Augstine, pray for us. Amen.”
