Dearest God,

Today is the last day of the year. How quickly it came! I get the opportunity to leave behind some things or take them with me into the new year.

I have some hurts I want to leave behind. I need to let them go, surrender them to the air, to you. If I don't release them, then I will continue to be plagued by them in the new year. What a challenge!

This means that I will have to be intentional. I will have to stand before you, claiming my intentions. I will have to ask you to take these harborings of suffering and pain. I will have to hand them over, entrusting them to you. Only you can care for this bucket of sorrow.

If I choose not to surrender them, then I will be left to suffer longer.

You are
the great power
of healing,
God Most High.
Who else
can take
pain and
mend it?
Who can reshape,
renew
and restore
a human heart?
Who can take
a human soul
and bring
divine love
to it?
Who can
do it,
but you?
Teach me
the way
of trust
once again
so I can heal
from the
inside out.

Love, Andrea
