Dear God,

Daily you give us opportunity to move forward in faith.  You speak, "Try me and find your way!"  We are never disappointed when we really trust your leading.

Today fed up and full up with bone weariness, an emptiness from giving away so much of myself, and lack of self care, I remembered how your living spirit came to transform me three years ago.  I realized that faith is only as good as we take steps forward practicing life lessons you have taught us.  If we do not live as faithful human beings, how will anyone know we walk with you?  Life's trials are not intended to end our faith but are meant as side journeys of faith that help us grow, mature, climb mountains, take spiritual adventures, and trust in the living author of faith.  Everything that happens can cause us to leap mountains because you raise us up with you.

As I lived out a life lesson this morning by sharing my raw emotions with a trusted loved one, I was met by grace once again.

Heavenly Father,
thank you
for your
gentle kindness,
your mercy,
and your compassion.
Thank you
for every situation
in life
that leads us
back to you.

Love, Andrea
