Dear God,

How often have I expected you to let me in on the cusp of the future?  Not wanting to be blind sighted by events that would leave me feeling vulnerable, I just wanted to be ready so I did not make a foolish move, embarrass myself, or make visible my fears and weaknesses. I wanted to rely on my own abilities rather than trust you to take me where I needed to go and provide what I needed along the way.  No room for faith there.  I am sorry.

In this new year I sense you want to work on me to trust you more, to let go, to float where the spirit breeze moves me, and to carry a light load anticipating your spirit tools to arrive when I need them.  Already as I look forward to planned events I thought would work out one way, they are changing and requiring me to trust you more as I lift my hands from them in order to let you do your miracle work.  Talk about lightening the load and letting faith build.  It is good, so very good.

Thank you,
Gracious God,
for spirit nudges
that reveal
your living presence
at work
in human life.
Thank you
for your patience,
for teaching me
the same lessons
over and
over again
so I
might trust more
and live
a full life
of faith
with you.
It is
my life's
greatest desire.
I love you.

Always, Andrea
