Dearest God,

Fear paralyzes, shuts off possibilities, destroys hope, and stops everything.  Trust opens doors, gives options, grows faith, and recharges spiritual batteries.

For a short time yesterday I opted for fear.  As I awakened this morning I elected trust because you came to me showing me the way trust works.  Basically when I trust you I can rise to any occasion.  Trust leads to hope.  Trust opens the door to inner peace.  Trust brings joy.  Trust offers courage and strength.  Trust means two of us are doing the difficult task, not just one.  Trust reveals a kind of spiritual yeast that has potential for rising faith.  Why would I ever give in to fear?

God Most High,
creator of
all that
is good
within me,
thank you
for gentle reminders
of the value
of trust,
hope, and faith.
Direct me
to you
every time
I pray.
Forgive my frailty,
my lack
of faith,
my leanings
toward fear,
and my penchant
for following
my own will.
Thank you
for your
loving compassion.

Forever yours, Andrea
