Dear God,

Joy comes to us when we follow your lead.  When you ask us to trust you and we do, joy bubbles up like a geyser.  When we do not, we lose our air like a balloon that slowly falls to the ground.

Every day we decide whether to trust you or not.  And the trust is not always about you but rather how much trust we will put in ourselves over you.  I don't mean we don't trust you at all; we just trust ourselves more.  As a woman I once believed I was not important enough to trust my self.  It took decades to strengthen my will and affirm my person in order to believe I had the ability to will my future.  Once I was able to overcome my own insecurities I realized what a powerful team you and I are. I no longer diminish myself.  At the same time I realize trusting you is my highest will.

As I consider life and all its issues, I acknowledge how wonderful life is even in the midst of great difficulties.  It is always a time for evaluation and growth as I tackle one issue and another counting my own intuition as valuable and yours as the greatest gift we are given daily.

Teach us
to trust you
more and more.
Show us
the way
to build confidence
in your spirit
so we have
a greater capacity
to trust ourselves.
Thank you,
dear God.

Love, Andrea
