Dear God,

Each time I click on the Google button preparing myself to meet you, I feel as though I am walking down hallow halls.  There I know you and I will converse.  I always attempt to listen for your thoughts.

Each day is pregnant with possibilities with you.  As I pause, focus, and wait, you open me to revelations of your spirit.  If I am attentive and willing to listen, you will turn my head and my heart to you.  You will reveal truths hidden away in my soul.  You will direct me to lessons I need to learn, sometimes again and again. I am not always the best listener but I want to be.  You will do your part to reshape me for you alone know how much reshaping I need at times.

The wonderful thing is you care enough to offer me transformation.  As a puddle of human flesh, you have a plan for my life.  I can whittle that same life away or I can set my jaw in your direction like Jesus when he set his face to Jerusalem.  I can cause my whole being to stop, to await your word, and then write trusting I get the notes right.

You are worthy
of my attention,
O God;
for there is
no one
like you.
When I fail
to look
in your direction,
I miss
the real point,
the real highlight
of my day.
I miss
the connection
you offer daily.
Forgive me,
I pray,
when my
own self importance
gets in
the way
of what
is really important.

Love, Andrea
