Dear God,

Corrective adjustment, today I have to give myself a corrective adjustment.  Sometimes I step off the path.  I get grouchy, self righteous, and irritated.  I step in the shower and think of all the things that drive me crazy.  Then I imagine what I would say to people who drive me over the edge.  However, you stop me in mid-sentence because you know I do not want to be off the path or ugly.  You gently speak and I bow my head in shame asking for forgiveness and help to deal with the issues troubling me.  Even before I step back out, dry off, and get dressed, you have already assisted me in doing your will.

One of the gifts that comes with faith is an ability to know when I am stumbling.  You prick my conscience and ask me if I know what I am doing.  Of course, I know even before the question is posed.  I feel sad, disappointed, and ashamed.  I want to walk close with you with a pure heart and an intact faith.

It is so easy to get off track, not as easy to get back.  Yet, you, O Lord, make a way for us.  You shine your light and lead the way.  How grateful I am.

You are
blessed, Lord.
You touch us
with great love
and tender mercy.
You help us
find our way,
forgive us,
and give us
another chance.
Thank you;
thank you;
thank you.

Love, Andrea
