My dearest God,

What is faith but a supreme trust in you. I awaken in faith because I trust you. I dare to go to sleep, leaving behind the day just lived, hoping for the new day to come because I have a deep trust in you. I make decisions about the future trusting there will be one. I entrust my children, grandchildren and friends to your care because I trust your care for them is greater than my own. My faith in you is all about trusting the very one who has created not only the cosmos but also me.

When I watch the news or hear others tell all the bad news in the world, I hearken back to faith, to trust in the one who knows more that commentators, journalists and the man and woman on the street. When I fall ill, lose my way or feel my teeny world crumbling, I instantly move toward you, a move of trust. Even bad news is not altogether bad when I shift toward you reclaiming the good news that you are.

In some small way every day I discover myself drawing in a breath of earth air because I believe that trust ushers me a little closer to you. I know without a shadow of doubt that you are present ensuring eternity's press on today. I rest easy and happily when I trust in you.

All glory
is due you,
Gracious God;
there is
not enough praise
to say
thank you.
Know in
the depths
of my heart
my love
and gratitude.

As always, Andrea
