"HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU"

“Give your burdens to the Lord, and he will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.” Psalm 55:22 (New Living Translation)

But certainly there wasn't any evidence of a God who knew or cared about human beings. Twelve Steps and Twelve Traditions, page 97

For what it's worth: During my early sober days in Alcoholics Anonymous, how could I trust God to take care of me? I was a major disappointment to Him during my drinking days, and I insanely believed He was tripping me and pushing me deeper into hell. I had to stop drinking, attend hundreds of Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, and listen to hundreds of members share their experiences before there was a crack in my armor. Then I began to believe God might do for me what he had done for others. That is all God needed to rush in through the crack and begin proving to me I could trust His love. He combined all those meetings and all the sharing with my own sober experiences to convince me He would take care of me. Over my years of sobriety in Alcoholics Anonymous, I have given burden after burden to my Heavenly Father, and He has never let me down.

God bless you.
