The Nature and Basis of Assurance
At the commencement of Matthew 5 we find the Lord Jesus pronouncing blessed a certain class of people. They are not named as “believers” or saints,” but instead are described by their characters; and it is only by comparing ourselves and others with the description that the Lord Jesus there gave, that we are enabled to identify such. First, He said, “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” To be “poor in spirit” is to have a feeling sense that in me, that is, in my flesh, “there dwelleth no good thing” (Rom. 7:18). It is the realization that 1 am utterly destitute of anything and everything which could commend me favorably to God’s notice. It is to recognize that I am a spiritual bankrupt.

Scriptures for Renewing the Mind
While some might question whether the Bible is relevant to today, I maintain that it is. I have experienced the power of God’s Word in my life. Specifically, the principle of renewing the mind made all the difference in my eating disorder recovery.

How Do I Detach From an Alcoholic Spouse?

You Believe in God but Do You Really Trust Him?
2 Corinthians 1:9-10 NRSV
Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death so that we would rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. He who rescued us from so deadly a peril will continue to rescue us; on him we have set our hope that he will rescue us again.
I’ve always believed in God, believed that He exists, that He gave us His Word, that He desires to be interactively involved with me.
I have not always trusted Him.

Becoming Self-sufficient in the Lord
Ask Angie: Since the husband’s role is to provide, what do we do in these economic times when he has not been able to find a job? Not being able to provide puts him in a precarious position and tensions rise. We are living in my mother’s basement and not being in our own home is hard on him. We argue often and moments of harmony and peace are short lived. We also have three kids to think about – the last being 11 months old and this is another added stress. I pray. I read. What more? What do you suggest?

Scriptures for Strength in Eating Disorder (and all kinds) of Recovery
If you are in eating disorder recovery, you know what a tough battle it is. There are times that you may even feel it’s impossible to find the strength you need. But if you look to the Bible, you can find strength right at your fingertips. God’s word can give you the strength and power you need to move forward in your recovery.
Psalm 121:1,2 is a great place to start when looking for Bible passages that offer strength. I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

Scriptures for Resisting Behaviors
Could you use some help in warding off a binge, resisting restricting your food intake or stopping yourself from over-exercising? Does resisting eating disorder behaviors seem impossible sometimes? The good news is that divine help is available. God wants you to be free of your eating disorder, so you can go to His Word for help in resisting behaviors.
If you are hesitant to ask God for help because of the guilt and shame you feel over the behaviors you practice, please don’t let that stop you. Your not asking for His help is not going to stop Him from knowing about your behaviors. And remember that He is on your side. He wants you to be closer to Him, and He also wants to help set you free of your eating disorder.
