Dearest God,

A fresh new day is dawning. I am filled with hope, a hope that is a mixture of faith and trust. To awaken in the dark and watch the miraculous birthing of another day is a gift I savor each morning.

I do not know what today will bring. Could be joy, could be sorrow. Doesn't matter because you are God of both. I learn to trust you each morning. I step into the darkness knowing for certain that the light will shine.

O God,
I love
to meet you
in the darkness
or in the light.
Our living relationship
gives me
such life.
On days
when I feel sad
or sometimes hopeless
I am nudged
by a force
that reminds me
that I do not live
a solitary life.
Your gentle nudges,
well not always
so gentle,
keep me
on course,
keep me
in love
with you.
My life
is rich
because you are
in it.
How many ways
are there
to say
thank you?

Love, Andrea
