    Last night, I chose to have a beer (we bought a 6-pack for super bowl party).  I was feeling guilty about it, and in prayer I said:

    Lord I hope that I haven’t disappointed you

    I forget exactly what the response was, but I remember thinking, "wow that was harsh".  Then I said:

    Wow, that’s how it is?

    The response was:

    Michael, I love you

    Then I got the impression that because of that love, there are going to be times when I don’t like the answers to my questions, but those answers are in my own best interest.  I may not be sinning by drinking a beer, but God "will not protect me from the consequences of my decisions" and that I am "playing a dangerous game if I continue."

    I also said:

    Lord, please help me to keep [drinking] under control.

    The response was:

    I will not help you drink [alcohol].

    His rules / commands are for my own good.  I must trust Him.

    I trust you Lord.  Thank you for loving me and for guiding my life.
