GUIDES

“When we drew near to Him He disclosed Himself to us!” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 57

“You will keep on guiding me with your counsel, leading me to a glorious destiny.” Psalm 73:24

For what it’s worth: Fear and shame caused me to try to hide from God. However, "The Hound of Heaven" pursued me even into the depths of alcoholism and carried me to recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous. Now, instead of hiding, I offer myself to God each morning in my Third Step prayer. In addition, throughout the day, I try to grow closer to Him by practicing AA principles in all of my affairs. My Heavenly Father knows I am slow and need all the help I can get to grow spiritually, so He guides me with His counsel. He speaks in the language of the heart through my AA friends when I am at AA meetings and communicating by phone and e-mail. Additionally, He uses the book Alcoholics Anonymous and the Bible. These are the guides my Heavenly Father has given me to lead me along the right path to a “glorious destiny” with Him.

God bless you!
