Do I have this right?

Go bhfaighe tú é anois.

It's a phrase frequently used in AA circles in reference to God: "May you find Him now."

Yes, it is the present subjunctive: "go bhfaighe tú é anois" "May you find him now".

AA = Alcoholics Anonymous or Automobile Association?

Alcoholics. The Auto people use "triple A." American Automobile Association. Alcoholics Anonymous uses only two. They know when to stop.

I'd have said "Go bhfaighe tú anois é"

Also I wonder is "fáil" the best verb here? Perhaps

"go n-aimsí tú anois é"

Maidir le do shíniú:
"An ea nár fhéad sibh, mar sin, faire aon uaire a dhéanamh
liom?" atá i mBíobla Má Nuad do Matha 26:40

Sílim gur gá an liom a bheith ag deireadh.

Ana mhaith! But the automobile people this side of the pond are AA.

Well, yes, the word order in Munster would be that the adverb precedes the pronoun but it's possible that the converse is the norm in other areas. The famous quote of Tomás Ó Criomhthain shows the Munster word order: "Ní bheidh ár leithéidí arís ann" commonly misquoted as "ann arís" but as I say it's possible such usage is correct in Connachta and Ulster though not in Munster.

Aimsigh vs faigh - well, it depends on what precisely "find" means. I've no real problem with "faigh" there. Here are some more examples from Breandán 'ac Gearailt's 500 Beannacht:

Na Flaithis go bhfaighir agus bás in Éirinn; May you die in Ireland and Heaven be your reward, (500B:33)
Go bhfaighir a bhfuil id lámha astu; May you complete all you have on hand, (500B:22)

Note the use of the 2nd person singular ending -(a)ir in the present subjunctive which is nowadays largely confined to such formulaic expressions.

N'fheadar ab ionann go díreach "Nár fhéad tú faire aon uaire liom a dhéanamh?" agus "Nár fhéad tú faire aon uaire a dhéanamh liom?"

Ní ionann. B'fhéidir.

Cén chiall a bhainfeá as "faire aon uaire liom a dhéanamh"?

Cén áit go díreach go bhfuil sé sin sa Bhíobla? An bhfuil teacht air ar an idirlíon? Níl aon chóip don mBíobla agamsa. Theastódh uam tuilleadh don dtéacs a léamh ar dtúis.

Seachain anois. Cá bhfios cén tionchar a bheadh aige sin ort!

Á, níor mhiste blúire ficsin a léamh ó thráth go chéile ;)

Fíor dhuit, a Aonghuis. “An ea nár fhéad sibh, mar sin, faire aon uaire a dhéanamh liom?" athá sa Bhíobla

Ní haon ionadh é sin, ó tharla gur ghearr agus ghreamaigh mé as sin é! Fós féin;

Measaimse go bhfuil sé seo mícheart ar bhealach éigin, gan bheith in inmhe mo mhéar a leagan ar an fáth.
