I AM HEARD

“Today I have Someone who will always hear me.” Alcoholics Anonymous, page 260 (Third Edition)

“I am praying to you because I know you will answer, O God. Bend down and listen as I pray.” Psalm 17:6

For what it’s worth: My alcoholic mind told me that God did not listen to me, so I stopped listening to Him. When I really needed Him, I was afraid I had distanced myself so far that He could not hear me, and would leave me alone and powerless. Without help, I knew I would fail Alcoholics Anonymous just as I had failed everything else in life. However, the reality that I was actually sober in AA proved that God was listening all along. When I felt no one was hearing my pleas, Someone always was. It has been that way for many years now. When my prayer is weak and full of doubt, my Heavenly Father bends down and listens to me. He lets me know I am heard.

God bless you!
