Dear God,

How deep is the well of trust?  How far can we go to drink from it?

When life is extremely difficult, you offer us trust as a way to cope.  You come like a mother to a fussy child. You lay your hand on our brow and sing the song of faith to us.  You remind us that life is a journey, one that is ever moving.  You tell us to move forward, not stay stuck where we are.  You take our hand and let us know we are not alone.  You show us hope and give us opportunity to take it from the shelf.  You urge us to grow and change.  You reveal to us how we can live a new life.

I remember how you came to me in troubled times.  Today as I consider those blessed gifts, I am grateful.

Merciful God,
thank you
for creating
a very
deep well
of trust.
Thank you
for the blessings
that come
with trust
like peace,
love, and joy.
May I
never forget
your offerings
and always live
in gratitude.

Love, Andrea
