Dear God,

Every day a word comes down from heaven.  It may be a word we embrace like mercy.  It could be a word of truth, not always easy to receive.  Sometimes it is a word of challenge, like a gentle nudge or a swift kick when we are sitting deep in a pothole of our own making.  But always a word comes.

Today's word came when a member of our covenant group shared.  Today's word was the word of trust.  Trust.  TRUST.  Trust comes when we feel uneasy, afraid, or doubtful.  When we have to face a great challenge, trust is always in order.  You simply say, "Trust me. Trust me and I will help you."

As your know, O Lord, my colleague is facing an eye surgery.  With all the things that have happened with her eye, she now has to face a risky surgery.  Fearful at times she has always put her hand in yours knowing there is no one to trust more than you.  Trust brings peace, hope, and comfort.

Bless you,
O Lord,
for your
many gifts.
Thank you
for Susan,
for her trust
in you.
Thank you
for her faith
that inspires her
to trust.

Love always, Andrea
