WHY FRET?

“When we look back, we realize that the things which came to us when we put ourselves in God's hands were better than anything we could have planned.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 100

“He is our God forever and ever, and he will guide us until we die.” Psalm 48:14

For what it's worth: Alcoholism blinded me. I could not see the hand of God protecting me. But only He could have saved me from a horrible alcoholic ending. Only He could have guided me to Alcoholic's Anonymous. Only He could have opened my eyes and my heart to His presence in my life. I try to grow closer to God every day by practicing the Twelve Steps He gave me, but all too often I sabotage myself. I am too slow to pause and ask His guidance when difficulties occur. I tend to rush in without Him. Also, I easily forget I am in His hands, becoming confused, doubtful, and anxious. Instead, I need be confident; realize my Heavenly Father always holds me close to His heart; and, He has already guided me to joys I never believed possible. So, why fret?

God bless you.
