How Perseverance Empowers Step 7 Artwork

The Intersection of Spirituality, Psychology and Theology

With the Intersection we strive to bring together the three disciplines of spirituality, psychology and theology in an applicable fashion, as it relates to addiction, codependency, trauma, grief, loss, abuse and domestic violence. Our goal is to share our experience, strength and hope in Christ in a way that can frame up your journeys and studies along the path of recovery. We all can benefit from the 12 Steps through the whole of our lives. It is a common misconception that only those trapped in addiction can benefit, but the biblical principals that drive each of the steps can be applied to so much more. We all have something we need to recover from, we all need the Lord's help and His touch upon our lives. Join us in our journey from addiction to recovery; from loneliness to comfort in solitude; selfishness to selflessness; from chaos to peace; ultimately from death to life.

How Perseverance Empowers Step 7

July 28, 2021 • The Family Afterward Resource Center

All people on this side of heaven would benefit from consistent contrary action, which put simply means to do the opposite of what our sin nature tempts us to do. This demonstrates a willingness to go to any length to cooperate with God.

This is where we must persevere, through our rigorous honesty, our honest exploration of who we are versus who we want to be, who the Lord has designed us to be. While this can be an exhaustive and at times daunting process, the rewards are nothing short of transformative.

The key in this is to understand that your willingness will at times be measured in your perseverance, patience and dedication to the process that God has started in your life, and heart.

Humility is practiced by.

· Surrendering your own will to God daily.

· Accepting responsibility for your own actions.

· Thinking of the welfare of others.

· Serving the needs of others.

7th STEP PRAYER

Lord, I am now willing that You should have all of me, good and bad. I pray that You now remove from me every single defect of character which stands in the way of my usefulness to You and my fellows. Grant me strength, as I go out from here, to do Your bidding. Amen
