Dearest God,

What a gift it is to awaken refreshed. No worries or anxieties, no concerns or disappointments. Just a simple awakening celebrating life.

How often have I had something on my mind that limited my ability to rest well? How many times have I carried a burden to bed, not allowing myself to trust you with it? Way too many times!

Last night as I lay down worn from the heat of the day, I let myself go into your hands. I did not get upset but rather trusted you for my well being. I felt the joy of your grace and love so faith lulled me to sleep.

How good
it is
to be
in your company,
Gracious and Loving God.
How wonderful
to rest easy
in your arms.
Teach me
the way
of utter trust
when worries
search me out.
Give me
praiseworthy lips
that will
always cry out
your praise.

Thankfully, Andrea
