The Life Recovery Bible, NLT, Tyndale Publishing House The Life Recovery Bible is for anyone impacted by addiction. Suggested steps to get the most out of your Recovery Bible: • Begin with a fresh determination to start your journey this coming week. • Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, In this moment, I trust you to join me in this fresh journey of recovery. In this moment, “Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” As you meet me here in my chaos, thank you for bringing clarity. Together, let’s take a step forward to all that you have ahead for me. When I take steps backward, I trust you to re-‐direct me. As I learn to take responsibility for my part, I thank you for forgiveness that cleanses me. Teach me new things. Together, God, Let’s Do This! In Jesus Name, Amen. • Set aside 15 minutes daily to get the most out of your recovery journey. Grab your Recovery Bible, a pen, & journal for writing personal notes. Feel free to write in your Bible as well. • Begin by reading the Preface on pages A5-‐A7.* • Continue A8-‐A14* to learn more about Twelve Steps. • The User’s Guide on A-‐15* will explain how to get the most out of this extraordinary Bible. We highly recommend you begin with the Recovery Principle Devotional Reading Plan. Simply follow the instructions provided there. • Email to let us know how your journey is coming along.
