September 10 Chp 38 v 4 TWELVE STEPPING WITH STRENGTH FROM THE PSALMS

My guilt overwhelms me - It is a burden too heavy to bear .

Step 8 - Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

Burden - a load, especially a heavy one.

Overwhelm - to affect (someone) very strongly. : to cause (someone) to have too many things to deal with. : to defeat (someone or something) completely ...

The pains we cause others become a load that we carry .How many times have you replayed it in your head . How often do you lose sleep ! What causes you to feel sick to the stomach . GUILT ! It is a prison that will eat you alive and then bury you . Steps 4 through 8 will turn the lights on in your prison but you must use the keys offered in step 8 to open the door .Everyone knows how thick and heavy a prison door is.The door is designed to keep you trapped . No one else can open the door it is too heavy and it is your door to be opened only by you and GOD . 

With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape. (Proverbs 11:9)
