Connecting with God: Step Eleven in Christian Recovery

It's through faith in Jesus that we come to know God and his love for sinners like us. What a tremendous promise. It's this promise from God that allows us the opportunity to experience joyful recovery in Christ.
Ever wondered how to deepen your relationship with God while on your recovery journey? In this episode of 'Joyful Recovery in Christ', Pastor Jim Nihiser wraps up his insightful series on Step Eleven, which focuses on enhancing our conscious contact with God. Pastor Jim breaks down the essence of this step, emphasizing the power of prayer and meditation in fostering a closer bond with the Creator.
Prayer, as he explains, is our way of communicating with God—whether it’s to express gratitude, seek guidance, or confess our shortcomings. Meditation, on the other hand, involves listening to God by delving into the Bible and reflecting on its teachings. Through these practices, we can cultivate a more intimate relationship with God, transforming our lives one day at a time.
Pastor Jim also shares five key ingredients for prayerful communion: calming our minds, expressing thanks, openly sharing our needs, embracing God's peace, and meditating on His Word. This episode isn't just about spiritual rituals; it's about making a deliberate effort to connect with God and experience a joyful recovery through faith in Jesus Christ. Tune in to learn how these practices can help you draw nearer to God and find strength and hope in your recovery journey.
