In times of pain we rely on The Truth and not our feelings or what our head is telling us. I am standing on and trusting in God’s word! 💯💪✝️🙌

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4: 4-7 ESV ⚔️📖✝️🔥

Good Morning ATO family! Let’s talk about serenity today. Serenity is having an inner calm in the midst of the ups and downs of life. It involves learning to be content with the things in our lives that cannot be changed. Some of us have never accepted the hurtful circumstances of our lives. We may be living in denial to avoid the pain. We continue to struggle against the painful realities, to rebel against who we are or what has happened to us. This is common for many of us. Maybe we have accepted the bad, even to the point of feeling that it's normal and comfortable. And so we repeat the destructive cycles of behavior that follow from it. The apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians, "I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with every-thing. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little" Philippians 4:11-12. When Paul wrote this, he was in a Roman prison waiting to hear if he would be executed. And yet we hear no whining or complaining. Instead, he learned to accept the circumstances he could not change. The process of recovery is a time of learning to find serenity while also accepting life as it is. Life isn't always fair. It isn't predictable or controllable. It can be wonderfully rich in some ways and terribly difficult in others. When we become willing to face our hurts and consider how we have reacted to them, then our discomfort can lead us to break our destructive cycles. Then we can learn to be content with the things we cannot change. God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change. Wishing you all a blessed day! As always it’s Hope to the Hopeless!
