May you be surprised by laughter when you least expect it, and may you learn to recognize kindness when it whispers your name. Blessings on your journey.
This is a beautiful and compassionate blessing, Nadia. Thank you. I have not had to struggle with addiction, but your kind words touch the bruised places of the other wounds I've ignored, made worse, and tried to allow to heal.
I am so appreciative of your perspective. It makes me realize how difficult recovery is and reminds me to be less judgmental of people who need to try and fail multiple times. Hoping R makes it this time.
My son is clean of heroin for 20+ years and sober for 2 and a half years. He is finally coming into being who God intended. I pray the same for R.
I never was addicted to a substance but I let the world define me and abuse me. Everything you said in your prayer applies. It took me many, many years to crawl out from under all the garbage. I now know who I am and rest in the fact that my identity is a child of God. I love the person I am in Christ. May this blessing come to R.
Prayers for R - May you have a visceral awareness of the presence of God with and within you, giving you strength, courage, and serenity. ❤️

Thank you. I’ve shared with my friend J, who also needs to remember who he is.
Prayers for all letters of the alphabet struggling with addiction.
You are a blessing, Nadia.❤️❤️
Without God I can't. Without me God won't.
This is why I consider you an Apostle of the Gritty Gospel. 💕🙏
11,329 days, and I know for certain that I had almost nothing at all to do with it except for having given up and never having reneged on that action.
So wonderful, so perfect, and so much what I needed just about now! Thanks so much, Nadia! You are a blessing.
This prayer is so beautiful. With your permission I would like to hold on to it for use in pastoral encounters.
Thinking of you R, and so grateful for Nadia’s words which will help so many (including me)
...R... remember who you are and what you stand for... you've got this... namaste'...
Dear R, thinking of you, sending vibes of courage and love. You are not alone.
R,
Praying with you. God has this.

Many good things happen on the third of anything. Remember the third day?
