My dearest God,

The gentle nudges of your spirit come when I least expect it. As I become aware and positively respond, the fruits of joy multitudinously increase. I spent this afternoon reveling in joy.

Oh, if I would only listen, pay attention and follow you daily. Oh, if I would only sensitize my spirit to receive your urgings and follow through with your call. Oh, if I would only trust you and follow obediently, what a life I would have!

Often I stray off the well-designed path. I see something or I want more or I want to do my own thing and I take off for parts unknown. I can get myself in real trouble as I give in to my own wants and forget your desires for me are always better.

But today I followed you and found joy waiting for my husband and me.

You are
a glorious God,
full of
grace, hope,
beauty, joy
and peace.
Keep me
at your feet,
dearest Christ;
teach me
to swiftly
bend to
your spirit,
I pray.

Love, Andrea
