Dear God,

My body is beginning to respond positively to the tests and medication changes.  I feel my whole insides gravitating toward healing.  It has been weeks since I begin to decline.  To finally feel the first change lifting me up is a miracle-in the making.

How often have I had to drop backward into your arms?  How many times have I had to trust wholly in your care?  It seems as though the answer always had two essential elements:  surrender and trust.
I had to let go, to release, and to take your outstretched hand.  When I have been able, I have discovered hope in the process.  Why does it take me so long to do it?

Thank you,
O Lord,
for your
healing hand.
Thank you
for your
compassionate love
that calls me
to you.
Thank you
for the blessing
of hope.

Love, Andrea
