Dear God,

With complications from knee surgery, some days things look skewed, strange, and confusing.  I look for you but feel myself falling into discouragement.  From there I see the world from the underside rather than on top of things.  I feel far away, exhausted, and alone.  I can't quite rise up to you.  I feel badly because I am not quite sure where I am.

I still read my morning devotions and sing a song of faith.  When I read the lyrics of beloved hymns, I gravitate to them because I know the words are words of faith and I grab hold trying to keep myself steady. I know you are in the songs and the book I am reading and so I try to move forward trusting in you.

One thing I know when we wander in the darkness we are soon to find the light, if only a tiny spark.  It is where I am know searching for the light and the hope.

Bless you,
O Lord,
for remembering me.
Thank you
for your
compassionate care.
Thank you
you for
remaining close by.

Love, Andrea
