I'm hopeful that god will help those that participate in this new family help for addiction video program, that it will help them to change their perspective, to see god in a different light, to see their circumstances in a different light and then, most importantly, to take that suffering and that pain, that god never wastes our pain to take that and then to use that in a way to bless and help other people who struggle.
