Our wrestle with God is not to convince God to love us and help us. It is to convince ourselves and take away our doubts. In other words, we're not really wrestling with God. So, when we wrestle with God, it is actually God trying to convince us.
Feeling overwhelmed by addiction and searching for a way to find peace? In this episode of 'How it Happens with Colin Cook', you'll discover how developing a thankful heart can be a powerful tool in your recovery journey. Colin Cook dives into the teachings of Romans 5 through 8, exploring how faith-training in the Gospel of Christ can help you combat addiction, whether it's alcohol, drugs, food, or obsessive worry.
The episode emphasizes the importance of wrestling with God, not to convince Him to love us, but to overcome our own doubts and fears. Cook explains that this struggle is actually God trying to reassure us of His unwavering support. Through this process, we can begin to see the truth and reality that exists beyond our immediate struggles, rooted in Jesus Christ and His sacrifices for us. Praise plays a crucial role in this journey.
While it may not come naturally all the time, scripture, especially the psalms, can nourish our ability to praise. This act of praise can transform our mindset, lifting our spirits and helping us reflect on the positive milestones in our lives. The episode also highlights the transformative power of reflection and thankfulness. For those battling addiction or depression, giving thanks might seem like a daunting task.
However, Cook underscores that cultivating gratitude can shift our focus from our struggles to the positive aspects of our lives, ultimately changing our state of mind. If you're seeking ways to develop a thankful heart and strengthen your faith as you navigate recovery, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in to learn how faith-training in the Gospel of Christ can help you intercept addiction and embrace a life filled with gratitude.
