Dear God,

I have had difficulty moving back into my prayer life.  With surgery and complications, my fatigue has laid me low.  Without a doctor taking steps to find out what is plaguing me, I have become more and more weary, without energy to do most anything.  Today I just cried.

Although I have trouble praying, I do have the sense that you are with me.  My years of praying, worshipping, retreating, and so much more, I have stored up faith for just such occasion.  How grateful I am.

When I was able to pray this morning, an insight came to me.  When we say amen, the prayer does not end.  The active end of the prayer moves on.  In the trial I am facing this is indeed good news.

Holy Father,
thank you
for the assurances
and promises
you give.
Thank you
for your kindness
and your
loving compassion.
When we
are down,
you remind us
of promised gifts.

Love, Andrea
