RR90 | Waiting on God in Recovery

Does your recovery feel like it’s taking forever? Maybe you’re doing the right things, staying abstinent, working the steps—and still waiting for peace or weight loss to come.In this episode of the Reshape and Recover Podcast, Julie and Tony explore what we can learn from David’s long waiting season—from being anointed king to years spent hiding in caves—about trusting God during the slow, unseen work of recovery.You’ll discover how David’s story mirrors the recovery journey:• Why waiting does not mean failure or God’s absence• How crying out to God honestly strengthens faith instead of weakening it• The danger of becoming too comfortable—or too impatient—in recovery• Choosing prayer over impulse, obedience over urgency, and trust over control• How waiting can be the very place God builds lasting strength and characterThrough Scripture, practical recovery insight, and real-life experience, this episode reminds you that waiting is not passive—it’s an active act of faith. God is working behind the scenes, even when progress feels slow.If you’re in a season of waiting with food, weight, or emotional healing, be encouraged: you won’t fail unless you give up. Keep working the program. Keep trusting God. The growth happening now will support the freedom you’re praying for.Keep coming back. It works if you work it.
