Dear God,

Living in the light while walking through the darkness reminds me of the cherished benefits of faith! Walking with you hand in hand so I do not stumble keeps me buoyed on top of the water rather than sinking below the surface.

Faith is not a crutch for me but a reality check of your divine presence.  While in the darkness I take stock of what is around me.  I hear your voice.  I feel the warmth of your love.  I sense strength, hope, and peace.

Worry and anxiety?  They taunt me suggesting all is not well but your living presence breathes joy into me.  What do I have to fear when I walk with you?

Loving God,
thank you
for your kindness,
your steadiness,
and your compassion.
Thank you
for prayer
that lifts us up.
Thank you
for faith
that truly
makes a difference,
a radical difference.

Love, Andrea
