Dear God,

Help us see what you see.  Give us the view from heaven so we may see the whole of what is true.

So often we get stuck on one part of a story.  We may know there is more but if one part of the story emotionally impacts our life, we may just stick with that one part, particularly if it is negative.

I am guilty of this sin, O Lord.  I set up parameters and failed to allow you to knock down the walls so I could move beyond them.  You would have helped me inculcate the rest of the story and ease my way back as I healed day after day.  I could have built a better relationship because that is what you would have wanted.  The story could have become your story.  As it is, it is now impossible.  My friend died.

Loving God,
so often
we hold onto
the past.
We do
not give faith
a chance.
We protect ourselves
rather than
take another chance.
I am sorry,
O Lord,
I am
terribly sorry.

Love, Andrea
