Dear God,

I had gone to bed troubled.  Something was clearly on my mind.  I fell fast asleep but then awakened and fought a battle.  The battle was for grace and I received it.

I had my list and one by one I alerted God to my trouble.  God spoke back.  I shared the next and so on until I came to the end of the list.  Each time God called my name and I knew to surrender it.  The end of the battle came swiftly as I let go of each concern.  I no longer had to carry them.  I fell into a sweet slumber lighter than I had been when I went to bed.

When I trust you, truly trust you, I find my way every time.

There is
no God
like you,
Loving Father.
Thank you
for your
warm and
gentle care.
Thank you
for forgiveness
and the ability
to start anew.

Love, Andrea
