My dearest God,

Today was a very painful day!  I felt hit front on and sideways.  I felt vulnerable and distressed.  Events of recent weeks nearly did me in.

Although I am a woman with a strong faith, at times I feel isolated and alone.  I put up my defenses trying to protect myself from further hurt.  I surround my heart and soul with your living promises.  I remember past graces.  I intentionally breathe in your living presence allowing it to enter my pores and if possible my DNA. I pray linking myself more strongly with you.  I listen more closely knowing my need for you is deep.  I place myself in heaven's reach.

By nightfall I felt I trusted you more and peace came.

Holy God,
giver of all
good gifts,
thank you
for living hope
that arises
from trust
in you.
Thank you
for peace
that comes
from trust.

Love, Andrea
