So here are 12 scriptures to help you:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1)  Numbers 6:24-26 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThe Lord bless you and keep you; may the Lord cause his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the Lord lift up his countenance toward you and give you peace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Psalm 3:3 (NLT)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cBut you, O Lord, are a shield around me; you are my glory, the one who holds my head high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Psalm 18:28 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cYou, O Lord, light my lamp burning; my God lights up my darkness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>4) Psalm 27:1 (NIV)<\/b><br \/>\n\u201cThe Lord is my light and my salvation\u2014whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life\u2014whom shall I dread?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>5) Psalm 32:7 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cYou are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>6) Isaiah 40:29 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cHe gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>7) Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cDo not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with my right hand of righteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>8) John 14:1 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cDo not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe in me as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>9) John 14:27 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cPeace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>10) 2 Corinthians 3:5 (CEV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cWe don&#8217;t have the right to claim that we have done anything on our own. God gives us what it takes to do all we do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>11) 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201c[God] said to me, \u2018My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.\u2019 Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ&#8217;s power may rest on me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>12) 2 Timothy 1:7 (NIV)<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cGod has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and self-control.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those verses merely scratch the surface, of course. There are so <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/this-prison-chaplain-earned-a-divine-second-chance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">many assurances and promises<\/a> in Scripture that we can use virtually every page in praying through recovery. You might try that, in fact. <\/p>\n<p>Or print these out and keep them in your pocket. Or write a couple on some sticky notes and keep them on your bathroom mirror or car dashboard. Or memorize some so you can pray them every day\u2014or many times a day. <\/p>\n<p>Whatever you do, these and other Scriptures can make your experience like that of the psalmist, who sang, \u201cYou are my hiding place and my shield; <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/addiction-and-recovery\/after-30-years-of-addiction-god-answered-his-prayer-for-sobriety\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I hope in your word\u201d<\/a> (Psalm 119:114 ESV).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A dear friend of mine, a recovering alcoholic, once told me, \u201cWe\u2019re all in recovery.\u201d In other words, every soul on earth is recovering from something.
