Seek the Lord - Bluidkiti's Alcohol and Drug Addictions Recovery Help/Support Forums

Seek the Lord

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

This morning, when we rose from hopefully a good night's rest, did we start our conversation with the Lord? Have we told Him how much we love Him? Did we thank Him for so great a salvation? Have we honored Him in prayer?

Psalm 63:1 "O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is"

Pray for our family members
Pray for the body of Christ's members
Pray for the lost that we know
Pray for God's perfect will to be done in our lives
Pray for the filling of the Holy Spirit
Pray that God will use us today
Pray that we will rest in the finished work of our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus
Please let the Lord feed you with Bread of Life this very moment

That is the verse that came to mind when I saw the title.

When I was using, I only sought Him in the troubled times. When you are drinking and drugging, you are on your own, you block God from entering your life to help. When I was using, and got the help (which we often think we deserve) we go back to doing the same old, and wonder how we got there.

God helped me, why am I back here. One is too many, a thousand isn't enough. I could stop, but couldn't stay stopped, until I found the spirituality of the AA/NA program.

God isn't selective, so why should I select what I want to turn over. If I select only what I want to turn over, my life is unmanageable.
