Church In the Wild Prayers my friend and good luck. I went sober for about a month last year. It was very difficult, but I started to finally feel 'better', and I convinced myself I could be like everyone else, and just drink a beer or two. I've drank every day since. If you're an addict, your brain has biologically changed. Don't start again, not even non-alcoholic,,,, not a sip.
I pray everyday for all the addicts out there who are suffering from this disease, I just celebrated 3 years clean, Its very hard for me to take any credit, I must give all the glory to the God. Celebrate recovery, Purpose Driven Life, all are part of my recovery,
Eating disorders, addictions, low self esteem, body dysmorphia, mental illnesses, self acceptance, love, peace, happiness, guilt, temptations~ to all out there (including myself) who need a mental/physical/and emotional recovery, I pray that this message is felt and heard deeply in our minds, hearts, and souls❤️
Lord God i pray for those suffering for all the messed up broken minds including myself. I have been a alcholic for 18 years.everything looks fine on the outside but broken in pieces on the inside
Thank you so much Pastor Rick Warren...All your preaching helps me recover from my broken engagement recently, Truly that God was good that he will protect those who love him. Praise God .. God bless Amen
I very been a hopeless alcoholic and addic since I discovered your book ,let me add by very strange happenings, I gave found hope and for the first time I truly believe threw prayer .there is much hope for me and a purpose I now understand..thank you
I need to move out and keep following Jesus. I am so grateful for my life and getting fit and well to serve Jesus. I will hopefully hear more clearly where The Lord wants me to live and serve….I am trying to align my life with Jesus’ good plans for our lives. I turned over my life to God today fully. I gave up going to the methadone clinic, smoking ciggs, drinking alcohol, abusing medications. I am looking forward to living a long life serving Christ.
Awesome words. We also suffer loss and pain. But God can use our failures to grow our maturity in our lives. Others are going through similar problems, we can testify and encourage them.
One day, my mom brought me to book store and asked me to pick one book to read and really study from it, and i don't know why, i choose Pastor Rick's book called "Purpose Driven Life" the book is awesome and made me wanted to know God more and wanted to make impact in others life, i was in Senior Highschool and now i am MD and I thankful everyday for recovery that God gave me, Praise Jesus and thank you, Pastor Rick, love from Indonesia

Matthew 17:21 says we need fasting and prayer.....................prayer alone won't due.......got to mortify the flesh (Romans 8:13)...........prophets suggest fasting only once a month, or as needed and fasting is skipping 2 meals (food and water) which is equal to 24 hour fast........we can't always do the two together (fasting and prayer) ..........yet the two together do miracles........... ."For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." This last verse in Mosiah 3:19, in the Book of Mormon.
Thank you pastor Rick... despite all the lies spewed from the mouths of other pstors agst you...you still keep preaching the Word of God..God bless you!
