A faith based recovery mindset allows you to continue to pray and to seek God for a miracle but it also allows you to trust God in the midst of your problems. Exercising a recovery mindset can facilitate a deeper level of faith and help you to better experience the presence of God in your life. When we learn to trust God we can begin to experience the fullness of His joy and His peace.

Recovery is a process that can be facilitated by many factors to include a belief in your ability to get better, development of support systems, medications and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Practicing a faith-based recovery mindset helps you take responsibility for your situation and causes you not to be afraid to seek help when needed.

A faith-based recovery mindset does not passively accept the belief that things in life will always be the way that they are now or that things will never get better. Instead, a faith-based recovery mindset chooses to hope, to trust Jesus Christ and to do the things that are necessary to facilitate recovery and life. For example, a person exercising a faith-based recovery mindset understands that in order to live a healthy life, they may have to take medications, but they also understand that taking medications does not mean that they lack faith in God.

A person with a faith-based recovery mindset is not simply sitting around waiting for a miracle – they are living their life to the fullest now. (IGBATTMHO)
