Many years ago in my alcoholic distress, I would take the Holy Bible to the rose garden at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. I didn’t understand much of it, but the Psalms seemed a life line to me. It was the beginning of my gratitude for the Bible.

Psalm 25:16-18 -

Turn to me and be gracious to me, 
  for I am lonely and afflicted. 
The troubles of my heart are enlarged; 
  bring me out of my distresses. 
Consider my affliction and my trouble, 
  and forgive all my sins.
