Dear God,

O Lord, as I close my eyes to remove the images of life around me, I move into darkness where your light comes to shine.  As I purposefully shut out the pictures where I am in order to find you, I meet you.  It is there I cherish the silence and listen for your voice.  Sometimes you bring a different scene to me.  Sometimes words will rise and take shape in my mind.  Always I sense your living presence.

Moments like these continually refashion my faith beliefs, attitudes, and practices.  As I give way to your light and insights, I am inwardly changed and every time filled with joy even if you bring correction and challenge to me.  It is this dynamic movement in our relationship that enjoins me to you and a life of faith.

You are
my all in all,
dearest God;
you are
the reason
for my joy.

Love, Andrea
