I hope wherever you are, you know that Recovery is with you—right where you are.
We are called to go deeper into Recovery. Imagine Recovery as a close friend. We don’t just reach a point in our relationship with Recovery and say, “I’ve made it.” No, we are invited to grow closer and closer each day.
In my marriage, I’ve grown deeper in love with my wife through both joy and sorrow. Those moments—good and hard—have helped us build a more honest and loving connection. The same is true with Recovery. Every experience, both painful and peaceful, becomes a chance to grow closer.
The goal of a relationship with Recovery isn’t perfection—it’s friendship. Recovery doesn’t want employees or followers. Recovery calls us friends. That’s the heart of prayer and reflection: a real relationship built on honesty, trust, and shared life.
Think about the friends you value most. Are they honest with you? Do you trust them? Friendship with Recovery begins when we stop pretending and start being real. We don’t need fancy words or perfect faith—just a willing and open heart.
Sometimes we speak to Recovery in prayer or reflection, and sometimes we simply sit quietly in the peace of that friendship. Here are a few ways to grow that connection:
Be honest—say what’s truly on your heart.
Be grateful—thank Recovery for one small joy today.
Be personal—speak to Recovery as a friend, not a taskmaster.
Tell Recovery when you’re tired, confused, or disappointed. Recovery doesn’t transform our masks—he transforms our hearts.
And today, I want to pause and thank all the service men and women of the United States for your selfless commitment to the American way of life. I offer special prayers for those currently serving and for veterans who are walking through mental health or substance misuse challenges. May Recovery’s light and peace be with you always.
