Dear God,

There is a quiet peacefulness about me. Recent turmoil has turned to knowledge, wisdom and action. I wondered if I could ever get here.

Following the vision you have placed before me I have found the peace I needed. Yet, the peace is still laced with sadness that I know will be with me for some time.

For the last three Sundays I have felt this awesome peace. Whereas I thought it would be difficult, painful and exhausting, I have instead felt a sense of inner peace and confidence. I think my preaching has also revealed this spiritual trust.

In your peace I have found comfort and compassion. You have been the steadying hand these last few days and I can't imagine having to face the present and future without it.

I continue to be reminded that one does not walk alone, not in the good days or the bad.

Let me
walk beside you,
Supreme Lord.
Still my voice
and make me
listen to your voice.
Your words
are full
of wisdom
and hope.
This peace
I feel
is your gift,
I am sure.
I am grateful.

Loving you always, Andrea
