Dearest God,

These last few days I have come to realize once again what it means to lean backward into your arms.  Surrendering myself to you in order to do what I need to do to prepare for my husband's open heart surgery just makes good sense.

Regularly a scene pops into my head when I consider the act of surrender.  It is me lying in a hammock, the sun to my side, a gentle breeze blowing.  The hammock swings back and forth with no effort of my own.  Peace reigns.

Trusting you in all things gives me a sense of wellness even though troubles brew.  When I trust you completely I gain a sense of strength.  But then you know that.

Thank you,
Loving God,
for your
sweet compassion.
Thank you
for faith
that enables
me to see
the spirit world.
Thank you
for grace
to endure
troubled waters.

Love, Andrea
