Power to Do What Is Given

0

Living by the Twelve Steps is essentially agreeing to give up our power—or rather, our powerlessness—in exchange for God’s power. It is becoming willing to do only what God gives me the power to do. But when I offer up my will to God, relying on His power, does this mean that He will give […]

Blameless Before God

0

Have ye walked, keeping yourselves blameless before God? (Alma 5:27) Keeping myself blameless before God? How in the world can I do that? There are so many ways to sin—in thoughts, words, deeds (Mosiah 4:29-30). How can I possibly watch myself so closely that I can remain blameless? I can’t. It’s an impossible task for […]

What Part of Imperfect Do We Not Understand?

0

We, as committed Latter-day Saints, are just as mortal as everyone else on the planet. We are prone to fear, codependency, doubt, worry, sin, and all the other beliefs and behaviors that lead to addiction and compulsion. When we find ourselves in these negative states, we are just as quick to turn to the material […]

Abstinence Is Not Recovery

0

Abstinence is not always recovery. What?!? Many people want to believe that abstinence is the end-all of a Twelve Step program. While it’s extremely important, abstinence is the result, not the goal. Recovery is not born of abstinence. Abstinence grows from recovery. Rather than focusing on how long we’ve been abstinent, our emphasis should be […]

The Direction of Perfection

0

Could it be that in order to move in the direction of ultimate perfection—toward God, Godliness, Godhood—I must accept myself as being right where I need to be at this moment? In other words, before I can move forward, I need to accept myself just as I am. I need to let go of the […]

A Recipe for Recovery

0

There are only two ingredients in the recipe of recovery—conscious contact with God and honesty. Conscious Contact. To make conscious contact with God, you must first believe it is possible. If you’re not sure you believe you can do it, that’s okay. Start where you are and pray for the Lord’s help. Believe that your […]
