Dearest God,

You are my guiding power. You are the source of my hope. You are God, to whom I turn. In you there is only grace, grace laced with agape. In you I place my hand, heart, soul and spirit. The only strength in my soul is yours. To you I cling for your purpose.

Make me wise,
make my words
yours only.
Soften my heart,
heal my soul,
strengthen my resolve.
Equip me
for your purpose only.
Strip away
resentment
and bitterness,
leaving me
only you.
Lead me,
guide me
in your way
only.
Remind me
of my own
clay feet
so that
I will not
lodge myself
in judgement,
making the way
for my own heart
to decay.
Your will only,
Lord,
your will only.

Love, Andrea
