When we root our hope in God, a totally different future is possible.
Worrying about the future can be a heavy burden, especially for those in addiction recovery. Monty Mann, host of 'Take 12 Recovery Radio', dives into this issue with his heartfelt discussion on 'future tripping' and finding hope. He begins by explaining that 'future tripping' is when we let our minds spiral into worry about what might happen next, often creating negative scenarios that weigh us down.
But Monty offers a different perspective: while we may not control the future, God does. He references Jeremiah 29:11, which says, 'For I know the plans I have for you', declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future'. This scripture forms the backbone of Monty's message, urging listeners to place their trust in God's plan rather than their own anxieties.
He acknowledges that it's tough for those battling addiction to feel hopeful, as they often feel their lives are out of control. Yet, Monty encourages them to believe in a future that God has perfectly designed, one full of value and opportunity. He points out that while God's plans might not always align with our own, they are always for our ultimate good.
Throughout the episode, Monty emphasizes the importance of expanding our vision beyond what we can control and trusting in a higher power. He reminds listeners that even though life may bring struggles, God's presence offers a constant source of support and hope. To wrap up his message, Monty leads a prayer asking for divine help in resting on God's promises and opening hearts to the hopeful future He has prepared.
If you're navigating the rocky road of addiction recovery and need a dose of encouragement, this episode is a must-listen. Monty's blend of empathy and faith provides a comforting reminder that no matter how dark things seem, there is always hope for a brighter tomorrow.
