My dearest God,

Have things changed so much or is it just me? As I observe life around me, I see things differently than I used to. Like a kaleidoscope with shifting colors, my view of things has changed. I don't have the fear I had in years past. I don't feel the need to constantly be on guard. I don't have to have every answer to every question. I can feel doubt and not worry. I am not anxious.

While some things are the same, others are radically different. Or at least the way I see them is poles apart from a few years ago. How do you convert a thought, a dream, a reality? Things that I thought could never change have been transformed. Using spiritual binoculars perhaps I see things as they are rather than the way I thought they were. Or maybe I was blinded temporarily until I was prepared to see life from a dissimilar view.

What you reveal, I believe, can be seen on one level but through the looking glass of faith, it takes on new dimensions, like suddenly seeing in 3D. What do you do that initiates this altered state? How can I enter a realm where I always see through eyes of faith?

O God,
Gracious Father,
Great and Wise One,
your power
is mighty;
your love
is eternal;
your grace
is wide
and deep.
Teach me
to freely choose
your will
over my own.
Show me
the way
of trust
that leads
to full obedience,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
