NO MATTER WHAT

"He answered their prayers, because they trusted in him." 1 Chronicles 5:20

"They trust their God." Alcoholics Anonymous, page 68

For what it's worth: The shame of being a depraved drunk caused me to fear God. Despite this, if I were to be sober and avoid hell's fire, the people in Alcoholics Anonymous made it clear I would need a close relationship with Him. This demanded trust. But, how was I to trust the God I feared? The answer came when I was advised to ask God to teach me. This was not easy. First, without alcohol’s anesthesia, I had to suffer severe depression and despair resulting from fear, shame, and pride. God used this pain to make me humble enough to ask for His help. Immediately, with personal experience, He began filling my once empty soul with trust in His love. Today, I know I am in His loving arms...no matter what.

God bless you.
